Thinking of buying the 2003 Ford Expedition?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2003 Ford Expedition; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2003 Ford Expedition before buying one.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
The 4.6L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The EPA rates it at 16.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 50 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $26.04, and a 300 km weekend about $78.12. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Expedition answers the big questions. Drive the Expedition on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $26.04 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
