My wife parted ways with her 2013 Ford Explorer Sport today. It gave us 132,000 trouble free miles for nine years and was still going strong when we traded it in today.
We attempted to purchase a new Explorer ST but they are almost non-existent right now and the few that I did find were not the color or specs that I wanted for the car.
Not to mention most of the dealers are marking them up $7 - 8,000.00 over MSRP.
So I found this little jewel sitting on the lot at Alpha Romeo of Greensboro and went and picked it up today.
2022 Stelvio Veloce. It’s AWD with a 2.0L turbocharged in-line 4. What’s really nice about this car is the fact that the engine is longitudinally mounted just like a RWD setup.
Pop the cover off and the engine is right there and easy to get to for maintenance. Turbocharger is right on top. It really reminds me of the 4.0L straight six in my Jeep TJ. Very easy to work on under the hood.
Dealer knocked $3K off of the sticker and gave us a fair deal on our Explorer.
