I am thinking about buying my first explorer, I have always been a chevy blazer fan, but the explorers look nice. I found one I really like, it has a lot of miles on it but it is very clean and drives good. This is the link to the one I want

My question is what problems have people had with their 1996 explorer?
Are they cheap to work on or is everything expensive?

I understand it has a lot of miles on it, so things will break, but any feedback would be great before I just jump into this 4x4.

Thanks,
Tim
