Owner's Pitch
"Mechanic's special 2003 Ford Expedition with desirable 4x4 and a recently rebuilt automatic transmission. While the engine has a knock, the vehicle passed smog and features many high-value parts for a restorer or dismantler. Low mileage for the year and a clean title make this a solid donor car."

Description
Overview: This 2003 Ford Expedition is being offered for parts or as a mechanic's project. The engine currently starts and runs but has a noticeable knocking sound that requires significant repair.
Mechanical Status: The automatic transmission was previously rebuilt and the 4x4 system remains fully functional. The vehicle recently passed its SMOG certification, indicating the emissions systems are still operational.
Condition and Sale: The seller is moving on from the vehicle rather than performing the engine repair. Asking price is $1,500 firm, cash only. This is an ideal candidate for someone seeking a donor vehicle or a high-value parts car.
Market Highlights
- The Parts Market Reality: In 2026, finding affordable parts for early 2000s SUVs is becoming difficult. A vehicle like this Expedition, which features a rebuilt transmission and working 4WD, holds significant 'break-up' value for owners of similar high-mileage Fords.
- San Diego Demand: Southern California remains a strong market for 4x4 components. Even with a mechanical failure, the rust-free nature of Santee-based vehicles makes the body panels and chassis components more desirable than those found in wetter climates.
- The 5.4L Triton Factor: While the engine knock is a known Achilles heel for this era of Ford V8s, the rest of the drivetrain is famously robust. This vehicle is priced correctly as a donor car rather than a primary daily driver.
