2018 Ford Flex SEL - 7-passenger, 132,811 miles, clean title. The Flex has a devoted following for good reason: unmistakable boxy style, a roomy 3-row cabin, and the smooth 3.5L V6.
Well-equipped SEL — originally $35,490 MSRP. Factory equipment per the original window sticker (see photos):
• Heated leather seats — 10-way power driver + 6-way power passenger, memory driver seat & mirrors

• Remote start + Intelligent Access push-button start
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• SYNC 3 with 8" touchscreen (Apple CarPlay / Android Auto capable), 7-speaker premium audio + SiriusXM
• Rear-view camera + reverse sensing
• Adjustable pedals with memory
• Appearance Package: 20" gloss-painted wheels, Shadow Black painted roof, roof rack side rails
• Factory two-tone interior: charcoal black dash & doors with light gray leather-trim seats (gray inserts)
• 7-passenger, 3rd-row 50/50 fold-flat; capless fuel filler, fog lamps, privacy glass
We've already invested ~$6,400, so the expensive maintenance is done:
- Internal water pump + front-engine reseal (the big Flex engine job) ~$3,900
- Radiator, support, hoses & fresh coolant ~$700
- 4 matching tires — all 4 match, good tread, newer ~$400
- Spark plugs, coil boots + new engine & cabin air filters ~$400
- Rear sway bar assembly + bushings ~$350
- Transmission service + shudder fix (smooth shifts) ~$250
- Full interior restoration (steam clean, leather repair, ozone treatment) ~$400
Full transparency - I'd rather you hear it from me:
- CARFAX shows a prior front-end accident. It was properly repaired, receipts available, and it drives straight and true.
- The interior is smoke-free day to day. The only time you might catch a faint trace is opening it up after it's baked in the sun on a hot day. A prior owner smoked; I don't and never have in it, and it's been ozone-treated.
- A few minor door dents/scrapes, typical for the mileage (visible in the photos). Nothing structural.
- Small exhaust note: on a cold start or under hard acceleration it's slightly louder than stock. It's downstream of the cats, throws no check-engine light, and doesn't affect how it drives. I even smoke-tested the whole exhaust and couldn't pin down an obvious leak — best guess is a tiny flex-pipe crack that only opens when it flexes under load. Easy, inexpensive muffler-shop fix.
Priced at $6,500 - below KBB private-party value for the mileage and reflecting the work that's been done. Runs and drives great. Located in Clermont, FL.
