The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many people find dependable in day-to-day use, with comfort and performance standing out over time.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Ford Explorer?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can afford to be choosy without waiting forever for the right listing.

• Deal availability: 26.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 264 listings available.

If you find a listing below $14,756 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Ford Explorer's resale value?

The current average of $15,251 CAD sits slightly below last year's $16,585 CAD.

That softer pricing can be a good entry point for you as a buyer, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, buying well matters more than usual because your eventual return will depend heavily on how much room you leave between purchase price and market average. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2016 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 26.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.04% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: If you want a roomy, family-friendly SUV with strong owner satisfaction and a market that currently gives you some negotiating room, the 2016 is a reasonable primary target. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby year with a lower average price may be the better secondary path, especially if you’re willing to trade some of the 2016’s market position for a cheaper entry point.
