Condition
- Photo check: The front bumper cover and grille area show visible cracking and damage, and the rear bumper is scuffed and cracked, though the vehicle appears otherwise whole and drivable
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 3,163 completed sales over the last year.
A 2001 Ford Explorer Sport sold for storage lien, so it's a resell-as-is or parts play for used-car dealers and parts sellers. Only California residents get a DMV title, and out-of-state buyers must arrange their own bonded title, so confirm that works in your state first. The listing flags a mileage inconsistency, so verify the odometer reading before you assume the miles are real.
Estimated flip margin and comp range available with Pro. Summary may occasionally contain inaccuracies; check the full description before bidding.
