Thinking of buying the 2012 Ford Expedition?
No 2012 Ford Expedition is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2012 Ford Expedition before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 118 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, electrical system and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain here is the 5.4L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 44 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $22.79 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
A longer test drive
Rent the Expedition for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $227.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
