Power Autosales

Not too long ago I needed to replace my work truck. We always have rental properties that I maintain and had used a Ford Explorer for the last 10 years. It served me well, but the mileage was getting high and I wanted something a little bigger so I watched Craigslist for an Expedition. I have driven Ford trucks for many years and they have never let me down.
Jamie Powe had this one listed on Craig’s. I wanted one with 4 wheel drive and the heavy duty trailer towing package. The trailer towing package was important to me and when contacting people everyone was telling me their Expeditions had the HD package. Well, honestly very few trucks have it, but as all Expeditions have have a class 3 hitch all the sellers think it is the heavy duty package. To not waste my time I ask for the trucks VIN # and some sellers freaked out. Some though I was trying to run some kind of scam I guess. But, with the VIN # I can see how the truck was equipped when built by Ford. Jamie didn’t hesitate to give me the # and as she had told me it did have the HD package.
When she gave me the address on Fulton I assumed it was a used car lot even though the ad was listed as a private seller. Normally I am not in to going to used car lots, but I had wasted a bunch of time with private sellers that didn’t know what they had to sell. I knew this truck had the features I wanted so I went to see it. I was correct as it was a dealer and the truck was just what i was looking for except it was sitting on stupid 20″ rims. I knew I could find stock Expedition rims on Craigslist so I didn’t let that stop me from buying the truck. When I dove it it turned over slow and I told her the battery was weak. She said no it had just been sitting on the lot and not driven and would be OK. Nope. I knew better and just added a new big battery in my mind to the price. It still was under my budget so I took it home. In a few days I found the stock rims on Craig’s for $ 100 and then sold the ghetto 20″ rims for $ 500. The extra $ 400 went towards a set of new Goodyear tires.
I’m holding back a star because of the battery BS and that it was listed as a private seller, but it has worked out to be the perfect work truck and the price was right. I would buy from her again, OK? I will gladly give Jamie 5 stars for boobage though :-)
