Scrapped?! 1999 Ford Explorer XLT! RUNS!-DRIVES! 

This just proves that if you take care of your vehicle, it'll take care of you.

Why would someone scrap this vehicle? There are just too many wasteful people out there.

I own a '99 Explorer XLT V8 and it's a beautiful SUV. These ORIGINAL EXPLORERS, are wat sport trucks WAS about. Now it's a crossover SUV or as I call it, station wagon. They run for years. Thank you for not scrapping it.

scrapped because radio display doesnt work.

It will sell quick! That 4L will run an easy three to four hundred thousand miles, if it's taken care of.... there great engines!

Nice Explorer. Mine is a 2000 Explorer with 118,000 mile on it. They are great vehicles no matter what people say. Your channel is cool. Love the scrap yard.

That is one VERY CLEAN 1999 Ford Explorer. To your point about the radio, as a Ford dealer tech since 2000, simply turn on the radio of any Ford product (still equipped with the factory audio unit of course) and press and hold #3 and #6 pre-set buttons simultaneously and that will put the audio unit through what's called a speaker walk-around test. Just another useless piece of information for those of you interested.

This sickens me, people just scrap a perfect 1999 Ford Explorer XLT, and there's nothing wrong with the car! Most likely some people just eager to make some quick easy cash, this car is in too good a condition to be in a junkyard... I hope someone buys it, I really do.

lol your so fascinated with the center armrests

Pushrod 4.0...the good one not that ohc bullcrap. This one's a keeper.

Hey Jay, awesome Explorer, as a Ford guy i have had 3 of these, '98 Limited, 2000 Limited both in Ontario and no troubles at all both with 4.0 sohc, moved to Calgary Alberta 4 yrs ago and bought '01 Explorer Limited and have had it 3 yrs with no trouble, all vehicles are 4x4s and with sohc, i look after my vehicles and keep all fluids changed regularly. I love this style best and would get another in a heartbeat!!. If u see my little pic, its a '65 T bird i bought last summer, all original and all power except no ac, paid $12,000 for it and i love both vehicles. Thanks for all the videos, really enjoy them, Bill Mason.

I got a Red 1999 Ford explorer XLT 4.0v6, I love that car. Runs great! It has 199,780 miles and still going strong!

I have a 97 ford escort with 145000 miles that still runs and drives great and it has heat and cold a/c so I don't know why anybody would scrap something as nice as this.

You might as well open a used car lot

Where I'm at(upstate NY), junking that would only get you about $200. They could have put it on Craigslist and got $900 just to sell it cheap.

Great video like usual buddy people have lost the value of things so very sad , I wish you and your family a very safe and Joyous Christmas and new year

I had a 99 Explorer exactly like that but mine was black. I loved that car.

I would buy that in a heartbeat. Only thing holding me back is the in-another-state thing. Cleanest Explorer of this generation I've seen so far. Wonder why the previous owner didn't just sell it 🤔

That things mint!!!!!! I regret selling mine! My 95 4.0 and 2000 4.0. The newer motor has more pep for sure. But longevity is key. Some people are unbelievable

I've got the 4.0 ERI in my 97 control track it's got 256k and still runs strong the truck is immaculate only one tiny ding only issue I have had is #3 plug gets stuck and the in-take bolts needed tightening and that's it great little rig

Just broke in and ready for another 100k

If I didnt live in Missouri Id throw $2,000 at that thing. It would be worth it.

What absolute idiot scraps a perfectly usable car like that. Even if he did not like to have it anymore, just wash, wax and sell it.

Nice! Hope she finds a good home. Grab most any Ford Explorer/truck radio and you have a drop-in replacement.

That won't be on the lot very long.

It's good your yard resells good vehicles It is hard to find cheap vehicles now days.

that's amazing, really clean, why someone would junk it? people are strange, if I was closer to your location I would come over today and give you the cash, I'm in Pa. up here you don't see them like that cause they rusted out, if not cared for , good deal my friend :)

I'm glad this Explorer is back up for sale. Only an idiot would scrap a truck this beautiful.

I love the explorer. I inherited an 01 2 door sport from my father with 74k on the odometer!

2017: Scrapped 2023: Would sell for $10k

such a nice suv

Wow I can't believe someone would junk such a nice truck wow where is your junkyard too bad I am in New York I would love to come and see your junkyard maybe one day I will.

wow, firm oil pressure, no abs, premium sound, seat belt light that doesnt keep dinging at you, clean frame, never been hit. wow what a gem

Very Nice. Bet the front bushings creak.... like they all do.

I have a Ford explorer with the 4.0, got about 230k miles still runs great. Drive it everyday.

I use to have a mercury mountaineer like that. It was a good vehicle

That's a nice vehicle. Where are yall located at cause before long I'm going to be in the market for one . Cool video 👍

That's just crazy! It's a shame people just scrap these great cars.

Good looking suv Merry Christmas and happy new year my friend.

If you lived in Canada I would considered laying down 1000 maybe 800 actually lmao for the Radio and Misc. I have a feeling it was scrapped because it was a loved one's that passed away and couldn't bare to see it or even see it go to someone else.

You should have website for vehicles that yiur selling!

My 2000 xlt is going like a champ

I own this vehicle also and I love it very tough has balls going up hills and the bumpers are pretty tough then this plastic crap they have now thanks for showing this video

This is a keeper Jay! It’s good for another 100K miles.

"But still an automatic shift, after all... Nice cinnamon gums." 🗨😘👡📿💫

I had a 96 xlt with that engine. Loved that car!! Drank gas like an alcoholic but it was a beast. I hope it has a good home!! :)

I had a 97 Ford explorer paid 1,500 had high miles 198000 when I got it I put it up to 280000 before I donated it still ran great had a little transmission issue at times, it was surly a gas burner. I miss that suv had allot of room great for camping

I had a '98 4.0. Heaps of power. Only reason I sold it was it has 138k on it, air failed and I wanted a tray. Sold it for $3,500 at 12 yrs old and it was really dirty, dinged. Was a work horse and the popular green..

Instead of the idiots giving it to the scrapyard they could of put a for sale sign on it. I guess they didn't want to make money. Instead they scrap it and let the scrapyard profit. People are stupid.

I just paid $300 for one. Very clean suv

Every time RU-vid re-shows me this thumbnail I laugh at the little wheels under it hahah the slightly smaller tires really make a visible difference. It looks like a weird minivan or a rollerskate :P

Wtf.... That thing is clean. And why can't I find something like this in my for dirt cheap

If the dimmer is off, then turn it on and the radio screen should light up

That dinging noise in the beginning brings back memories of riding around in my Grandpa's 2000 F-150. Had the 4.6L V8.

Needs Firestone tires to make it road ready.

Super nice super clean I bet it will drive cross country with no issues.

Hey man the sohc 4.0 is good just keep up on maintnance mines got allmost 300k miles on it

That's just crazy. I drive worse everyday. There has to be some kind of a catch.

Damn I would totally pay $1000 for that these go for $3000 we’re I live

Light dimmer Switch might be down and that would cause the radio display to be off.

Take my money please

I have a 96 eddie bauer explorer and i wouldnt scrap ut for anything. It runs like a beast with 163k miles

Why would you scrap that

They were tired of it? I've read some cars this happens to: the owner's tired of the car before it's tired of them.

The timeing cover gasket can be a pain to replace but no t8ming chain problem

I would love to buy that off of you, I need a vehicle but I don't have any money 😞

Can you do a junkyard update 😊

A good friend of mine had a almost identical truck to this one. Same color ,motor everting. He junked his when it blew a head gasket.

My friend francisco who always drinks around 4oclock in the afternoon has an explorer just like this

When person tries to comment but their phone is about to die wow cool vi-

The little knob on the side turn it all away up where your lights on the dashboard gets bright it might be turn off

You guys are awesome for saving that 1

I hope somebody bought it, looks clean

Nice truck and real guage package.

Got a 2000 explorer with 150000 still runs like a champ

Cool! Airbag light goes off! Maybe A/C freezes!

It running fine clean

I want one of these explorers

Mint👌🏼

my mom owned one of these when i was a youngling and the slightly dropping idle that goes back up to like 1.5k when you first started it gave me goosebumps

I would love to have that.

Got a 1998 with 275K still runs great

I’ve had the same kind of story, When I bought my 93 Silverado that thing is amazing.... 191K when I got it the 350 still had plenty of power in her tranny never had issues and the interior looked as if it was brand new ( a rarity for 90s Chevy trucks) the only thing bad about it is the paint and one spot of rust on the passenger rear cab corner. Best 2 grand I’ve ever spent I love that thing to death.

Spare tire is missing @7:21 a tear in the drivers seat other than high mileage this is a keeper!

Someone got a new(er) car for Christmas. I'd keep that one, it really looks like someone cared for it, with the condition I wouldn't have thought it had more than 100k on it, not nearly 200k. Change out that slightly worn driver's seat, which probably isn't going to be too hard considering the number of these there must be in junkyards given they're reputation and you'd have a really smart motor for very little money. It wouldn't surprise me to find a load of service history inside that book pack...

2wd? damn i want this thing but I'm in PA

I wish I could have like this

Id honestly buy one in this condition for $2,000 EASY

$1,000 is too low---I wouldn't take a dime under $1,500 for it after a good pressure-washing

Dude I just got 2000 Ford explorer 2dr sport 200

Nice truck

ITS NOT A TRUCK!!!!!!!!! ITS A SUV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi jay looks nice

Wow! Can’t believe someone scraped that (???) Ford Explorer- Simply doesn’t happen around here (Lou, KY) everyone around this ‘Suck-Hole’ (KY) expects to get ‘rich’ off of everyone while they attempt to screw ya good if ya know what I mean! - I no longer can drive & yes, I miss it severely! (Don’t take your vision for granted kids)✌️

Let’s take good care of the explorer for 10 years then we’ll scrap it .. don’t mess with the center console cos we gonna scrap it in the future

I was trying to figure out why they scrapped it, then you pointed out the rip in the seat.... lol No idea what people are thinking. They may have tried to trade it in and were offered less than scrap value so just decided to scrap it.

I Bet that was a trade in at a good dealer, and they thought it was too rough to fix up. Wholesalers did not want it, so, off to salvage? Shame but somebody got a good beater.

nice car wish i could buy it

Well vehicle sounds good enough to take on a trip I don’t understand people

Put a new radio in and replace the power seat switch and maybe the passenger window motor and it will go for many more miles hopefully
