Now I now why I couldn\'t find the Explorer on the Rochester Craigslist, I spelled out explorer I never thought to put XPL. :) Thank you very much for all the help Madmike. I called on the Subaru already I really hope to get that one. That would be ideal. I\'m going to look up the others next. Thank you again.

There seems to be an empty right seat with someone during a trail ride.  Lack of a 4x4 or cash doesn\'t necessarily mean you can\'t wheel...

Your Welcome and dont mention it id rather have you fina deal im in a similar situation i got a 19 month old daughter so i know about being low on cash. like i said ill keep my eyes open for any deals. I got a buddy with a 96 explorer he was thinking of sellin i dont know if he wants to but ill see what i can come up with.

That\'d be sweet. Only problem is with not having my own car yet; I\'m stuck looking locally, Buffalo Craigslist only, & even some this area I still wouldn\'t be able to get to. Unfortunately, non of my friends are quite as fond of road trips as I am. I\'ve been checking & none of them even wanted to even entertain the idea. :)

[MadMike454]

tell you what im going to keep looking around for deals for you and see what i can do

Thank you

Hey Danon, My dad has a 97 dodge caravan that he might be willing to sell cheap. Ill talk with him this weekend and get back to you.

Thanks. I\'ve never been one for Chrysler but I\'m certainly not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. It would be ironic if it was a Chrysler that holds true & helps me out of this mess. :D

Thanks Mike, I\'d seen that your from Tonawanda, lol I grew up in city of Tonawanda.

Hay thanks everybody!!! I finally found a car. A \'95 Lincoln Town car. Bad on gas & lil rough around the edges but it seems that it\'ll get me where I need to go.

Thanks again for every bodies help.

hey at least its american and if its got the 5.0 v8 those are good motors to use for a trail truck or mudder project

[itjustmeD]

Na, it\'s got a 4.6 with almost 200k miles. Still a V8 but hopefully still a good engine. I had seen a \'96 town car (1 year newer) with 356k miles on it & still going. I think my \'95 has the same motor as the \'96.

I actually had thought of using it for a project down the road. 8in lift, 4x4, set of 44 super swampers, & some serious articulation. I\'d be wheelin\' in style. lol

does it have a solid axle in the rear?

[itjustmeD]

Here\'s what it looks like now. Not bad for $500.
