Beasty Boat: 2007 Lincoln Navigator L

I don't know how often you guys drive new cars, but I'm always impressed at the way the new large vehicles drive -- they don't have the ponderous heft that 6000 lb trucks had from a few years ago...maybe its modern technology, maybe its some magic, but it is nice...not nice enough to justify the monstrous price tag when new...but wait 10-12 years and suddenly...it might make sense.  Take the third generation Lincoln Navigator, for instance -- it rides on the Ford F-150/Expedition chassis and seats 7 people in supreme comfort.  A basic rugged SOHC 5.4 liter Triton V8 pushes power to an independent rear end (did the Navigator REALLY get IRS before the Mustang...sheesh) and the long wheelbase version is the one to get.  Find this 2007 Lincoln Navigator L here on eBay offered for $11,495 buy-it-now located in Stafford, TX.

Bring in da Funk: 2008 Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Edition

No need to adjust your television set, the information you are about to see is correct and has been altered in no way from its original recording.  Back in 2008, the Ford Motor Company created a vehicle in collaboration with Aston George Taylor Jr -- who is professionally known as DJ Funkmaster Flex.  According to wikipedia, Funkmaster (as his friends call him) is a disc jockey, rapper, record producer, actor and host of an FM radio station out of New York City, but got his start making "mixtapes"...which isn't the same thing as the bootleg recordings you put on cassette back in the 1990s in your Jetta, but is a form of music where you mix and re-play other people's music into something that you sell and then make money. I've got to be honest, I'm totally lost here and I'm not sure what this is or how a disc jockey could be "certified gold" by the RIAA...but I digress.  Anyway, find this (one of 650 produced) 2008 Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Edition offered for $12995 in Mobile, AL via craigslist.  Tip from Wesley.

10k: Sarah Palin's Dog Sled: 1999 Ford Expedition


In 1996 self-described hockey-mom Sarah Palin beat incumbent John Stein 651 to 440 votes in the Wasilla, Alaska mayor race.  Turnout could best be described as lackluster when you consider that Wasilla's population was 5,469 in the 2000 census.  Regardless, the small town purchased a 1999 Ford Expedition for the mayor and apparently this vehicle was used to shuttle her around for official and unofficial business.  Find this 1999 Ford Expedition for sale in Wasilla, AK currently bidding on ebay for $10,200 with a 1 day to go.

10k Flash: Turbo Scat: 1980s Toyota Blizzard Diesel

The Toyota Blizzard was a small off-roader built for Toyota by Daihatsu and powered by turbocharged diesel engines.  This undisclosed model year Blizzard is for sale on the MiniTruckDealer.com website and looks awesome with the "turbo turbo turbo" graphics on the side. It is an LD20 model, so it was built some time between 1984 and 1990 and bears a striking resemblance to its 70-series Land Cruiser big brother. With 2L-T turbodiesel power it should be thrifty and fun to drive, in a Suzuki Samurai sized package. It's already outfitted with a bull bar, winch and roof rack for mini expedition duty. Current asking price is $8,999 and the truck is located in Los Angeles, CA.
