Owner's Pitch
"Reliable 1999 Ford Explorer with the workhorse V6 engine. Currently registered through 2026 and running well. With only 190k miles, this SUV has significantly lower mileage than typical for its age. Perfect as a local San Diego runabout, surf rig, or budget-friendly daily driver. Priced for an immediate sale."

Market Highlights
- The Budget SUV Market: In early 2026, any SUV that 'runs good' and has current registration carries a baseline value of at least $2,000. These vehicles are highly sought after by students, workers, and those needing utility without the high cost of a modern car note.
- Southern California Context: The San Diego market keeps older Fords like this Explorer on the road longer due to the lack of road salt and rust. A 27-year-old vehicle here is often in much better structural condition than its East Coast counterparts, maintaining higher resale floor prices.
- Mileage Advantage: While 190,000 miles sounds high, for a 1999 model it represents a significantly lower-than-average usage pattern. This suggests the vehicle hasn't been subjected to the extreme high-mileage wear typically seen in 25+ year old domestic SUVs.
