The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days, when the car matches its description. If hidden or unreported damage is found at pickup, any adjustment is shown with photo evidence before you decide.

Common Explorer problems we still buy

Internal water pump failure

The transverse 3.5-litre V6 used in fifth-generation Explorers has an internal, timing-chain-driven water pump that can leak coolant into the engine. The repair is very labor-intensive, so owners often sell instead.

Power transfer unit failure

All-wheel-drive Explorers can suffer power transfer unit failures, with leaks, noise, and loss of all-wheel drive. The repair cost can prompt a sale.

Transmission problems

Some Explorers, particularly later six- and ten-speed models, develop harsh shifting, slipping, or failure. Transmission work is a frequent reason owners move on.

Rear toe link and suspension wear

Rear suspension components, including toe links, wear and can fracture on some fifth-generation Explorers. Suspension and alignment problems often accompany a decision to sell an older SUV.

Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.

What we buy — your Explorer included

Fixable issues welcome

Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.

Most 2010-and-newer cars

Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.

Japanese vehicles of any age

Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.

Trucks of any age

Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.

Where the line is

We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:

  • No working key
  • Blown engine
  • Will not start or drive
  • Major structural damage
  • Heavily stripped
  • Trash-filled or severely neglected

How selling your Explorer works here

01

Start with the basics

Two minutes of details: what the car is, how many miles it shows, and where in Orange County it is parked. Title situation included — complicated paperwork is okay.

02

Check the condition boxes

The 12-point condition list is the whole pricing basis. Report a failed smog, a missing catalytic converter, or a dead battery up front and it is priced in, not discovered later.

03

Decide on your schedule

Your offer holds for 7 days. Pick a pickup window that suits you, sign the transfer paperwork when we arrive, and get paid at pickup.

The Explorer generations we buy

The fifth generation ran from 2011 to 2019 on a front-wheel-drive unibody platform, and the sixth generation from 2020 onward returned to a rear-wheel-drive-based platform. Three rows have been standard throughout, with EcoBoost, V6, and hybrid powertrains offered.

Explorers in Orange County are a mix of front- or rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, depending on generation. Police Interceptor Utility versions are a separate, fleet-oriented variant of the same platform.

Explorer seller questions

My Explorer has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?

High mileage alone does not disqualify a Explorer. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.

Can I sell a Explorer with a lien or a lost title?

Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.

What Explorer years do you buy?

We buy Ford Explorer vehicles across the 2011–2024 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage Explorer that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.

How much is my Explorer worth?

It comes down to the individual car: year, mileage, trim, and the 12 condition answers. We review every application by hand and send one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description — no automated lowball and no haggling at the curb.
