    anyone know the value of a 1995 ford explorer 4.0L engine and transmission with 180,000 miles on it? well maintained and working. just a ballpark would work. wondering if I'd be able to sell these things and get over $600 for it. that's kind of my starting point if I were to go through the work of taking it out of the old car. Any comments would be worthwhile. thanks.

    a '95 Explorer should be worth at least $1k if it's 4x4 and runs good.... but price will depend on location and if ur area would need the use of a 4x4 :huh:

    My general opinion and that of folks around here - Any solid running truck is worth at least $1k regardless of visual condition or rust.

    But in this guy's case the truck is totalled. He's parting it out, or thinking about parting it out, to justify the cost of buying it back from his insurance.

    k. update... bought the explorer. had the community college agree to remove the engine and tranny for me for free and I just had to pay for the tow to take the rest away and take the differential and brakes off myself. the timing for them doing it didn't work out and it was going to be 5 days of storage for the car at $40 a day and then a $150 tow to get it to my house until I could go to raleigh to take the differential out so I ended up selling the car. Sucks cuz I got so excited about the swap and trying to learn and figure all the stuff out. Plus it would've been so cool to keep our old explorer alive in the mav lol. I think of something crazy again soon. thanks for all the help guys. It really helped. now to figure out why I won't idle... but that's for another thread.
