I too have a 2000 Expedition Eddie Bauer. Got it originally to pull a small livestock trailer and have a covered space to put our show tack. My MIL offered us her '05 Silverado 2500 LS Crew cab for what she owed on it (about $15,000) about three yrs. ago. She'd advertised it for $19,000 with no takers. At the time it only had about 56,000 miles on it. At the time, thought about selling the Expedition. It has new tires on it, replaced rotted brake and transmission cooling lines, new lower rear control arms (got them from racing suspension mfg. in Indiana), tranny position sensor, new starter and some small items too. It does have the rocker panel rust now. The anti-lock brake control thing is leaking brake fluid when you step on the pedal, but still has brakes, barely, so have to fix that now. It has the air suspension and that is troublesome, the warning light comes on and it stops working after about 30 - 45 min. driving it. You have to stop and shut it off and it resets when you restart the vehicle.
I've been looking on Craig's list and they don't seem to be bringing much in our area, probably because of the horrible gas mileage. I paid $9K for it about 6-7 yrs. ago, it was something over $38,000 in 2000. I'd probably be lucky to get $2k out of it and likely less. It's too nice to scrap or give away and kinda expensive to drive regularly. I do like the way it handles the trailer, really nice on the highway. It's probably the most feature loaded vehicle we've ever owned too, we usually buy a middle of the line vehicle.
Like you I might keep it a little longer and do a home repair on the rust (not that I need another project). The wife likes it, but not the fact it always seem to be sitting needing some repair. If it was an F150 of that year (the Expe is on the F150 platform) it would sell in a heartbeat, everyone has a pickup or wants one around us.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
