Condition
- Seller mentions damage or a fault
- Battery and tires: "BAD TRANSMISSION, DEAD BATTERY, TOW OUT"
From the seller's description. Not a guarantee of condition.
Market demand: Vehicles in California sell about 88% of the time, typically ~17 bids. Based on 2,897 completed sales over the last year.
A 2018 Ford Explorer with a 3.7L V6 that needs a jump start, has a dead battery, a bad transmission, and no keys. It must be towed out. Parts-out buyers and transmission rebuilders are the likely market, and the transmission and electrical issues drive the value. Confirm the transmission fault is the only major problem, and remember the keys are missing, which adds cost.
Estimated flip margin and comp range available with Pro. Summary may occasionally contain inaccuracies; check the full description before bidding.
