What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

I have no troubles with people when i get in the fast lane. I feel like Moses. An unexpected but enjoyable benefit

I traded in a CVPI on my MKS. I had the opposite problem. It truly was an ex Police car, and everyone figured it was still on duty. The traffic problems that it created for me on two lane roads was not fun. Everyone that I came up behind on two lane roads would slow to 5-10 mph UNDER the speed limit. I would then have to wait for a passing opportunity to just catch up to the next idiot that would then drop to below the speed limit. Probably too many drunk rednecks where I live, but that's another story. LOL It got old fast.

Demodded my ExSport and detailed my interior. After a little over a year with my ExSport, I sort of decided I'm not really a SUV guy. I left the sharkfin antenna & PPE downpipes, because I no longer have the original DPs. Seriously considering trading for an SHO. Got my eye on a red 2015 CPO SHO PP with 13,000 miles. It's exactly what I would have ordered if I were to order one new.

Sorry the XSport did not work out, but glad a SHO is in the future

Yeah, I had 2 Yamaha SHOs (black '89, blue '93) when I was younger, and I enjoyed those. Plus, most of my mods from my ExSport will transfer to the SHO.

In addition to not loving the SUV, I also thought it was time to add some color to the garage. Between my white Explorer, my wife's white RAV4, and my 2 black classics, the stable isn't sporting much color these days.

Red will definitely break it up!

How many miles on the EXsport, and how much you looking to get out of it?

22,000 miles, all options except adaptive cruise. Trade in is around $35,500 on KBB, $32,900 on Edmunds. Looking to get around $34K. PM me if interested.

I got complimented on my "hubcaps" while pumping gas today by an elderly lady..lol. She said the car is alright but the hubcaps were very nice. I thought it was kinda cool yet comical at the same time

I traded my Explorer Sport for a 2015 Taurus SHO w/PP, nav, moonroof & multicontour seats. Got back $3K after my trade and has 9000 fewer miles. Let the modding begin!

Nice!

hawkeye93 · July 25, 2016, 08:58:59 PM

It's red. Sun was low, so pictures came out dark. Will get better pictures later.

CroR1 · July 25, 2016, 09:14:32 PM

congrats!! man you did not waste any time, lol.

Yeah, I'm leaving for vacation on Thursday, and I wanted to get it done before then. I had a PDR appointment for Wednesday to fix a big door ding on my Explorer, but I don't think the dealer even noticed it when I went in today. Shined up, the white paint does a pretty good job of hiding it. So I saved $200 on the would-be PDR.
