The median 2015 Ford Explorer sits at $11,999 in the Canadian market right now. Most of what you'll find lands between $8,194 and $15,694. That's a wide spread for one model year, and it tells you condition, trim, and kilometres are doing a lot of the pricing work here.
The typical car on the market has about 168,206 km on it. If a seller wants median money for a truck well past that mark, you've got a case for pushing back. Under it, expect to pay closer to the top of the range.
What kilometres cost you
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $648 off the asking price. So a 200,000 km Explorer versus one at 150,000 km is about a $3,200 difference, all else equal. Handy math to keep in your head when two listings look similar but the odometers don't.
The trims split cleanly. Limited runs a $15,990 median, the top of the lineup and priced like it. XLT sits in the middle at $12,898 with a tight typical band of $11,994 to $14,400, so there's not much room to negotiate one of those down. Sport comes in lowest at $11,499, but its range runs from $8,919 all the way to $16,350. That's the trim where a patient buyer finds a deal, and also where an overpriced one hides.
We've flagged 7 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. Not a flood, but enough that a below-median Explorer in good shape does surface if you're watching.
