What has happened to Shannon's Santa Fe over the last 4 months has caused us to trade in her car and get something more reliable (warranty that means I do not have to do the work thus making my life with the wife easier, besides it is a FWD car so we have another transmounted engine). After the work Ron and I did to replace the Santa Fe's head gasket and everything was done, the car was running but was only a matter of time before issues were going to arise. We traded her SUV and she liked the Explorer out of all the SUVs we test drove in our price range. Long story short we got a great deal on this 2013 Explorer and they gave us $5K for her car which was way more than anyone else would so it was a no brainer. Our car family is now a '99 F-150, '03 Mach 1, and now a '13 Explorer!
