- 1). Shop around. This is extremely important. One dealer may give you a better price on the same vehicle, or a different dealer may have the exact car you want on the lot. Purchasing a car on the lot is cheaper than having the car ordered specially, as this brings additional fees.
- 2). Select the "XLT" version of the Ford Explorer, instead of the Limited or Eddie Bauer editions. Both cost more and add several thousand dollars to the overall price.
- 3). Pick an Explorer without the "Sync" option. This is a built in stereo feature that allows you to hook up your music into a built in hard drive. This option adds over a thousand dollars to the overall price of the vehicle.
- 4). Select a traditional color, such as black, silver, blue or white. Specialized colors are going to add several hundred dollars to the car as the manufacturer needs to paint the Explorer just for you (instead of mass producing the same color).
- 5). Avoid any exterior or interior add-ons. These include the trailer package, increased stereo system or leather seating. All add more costs to your monthly payment of the Ford Explorer.
