     There are a lot of SUV’s in today’s market, but one of the original and most popular is still alive and kicking… The Ford Explorer. If you are in need of a family SUV, the Explorer is a good option. For 2006, the cabin is quieter, frame more ridgid, and a power third row seat.

     If you are shopping for a Ford Explorer online, it’s best to do your research first and find out the true invoice price for the car. You can find invoice pricing at websites like Edmunds.com After you know the invoice price of your Explorer, the next step is to get a price quote. I use Invoice Dealers to get a price quote from a local dealer. This service puts you in touch with a new car dealer in your area and most of the time results in the lowest price without having to haggle on price. Once you get  a price quote you can compare it to invoice price and negotiate through email. This keeps you out of the showroom and gives you the edge when negotiating for your new Explorer.


Every owner should have a repair manual for their car, even if they never lift a wrench on their car. AllData has a cool Online Repair Manual for your Explorer which has excellent indepth repair procedures, as well as Recall and TSB information. The Recall and TSB information is very valuable for all car owners and could save you tons of money when taking your Ford in for Repair. If you would like to read more about TSB’s and Recall information please check out my TSB page.

When researching a new car, I find it best to look for owners groups where you can
ask questions before buying. You may find a lot of good information in
FAQ sections, Forums, or mailing lists. You will want to look for common
problems, what year is the best to buy, and how people are modifiying their
cars to make them their own. Following is a list of clubs specific to
