hello all

Im here because Im looking to buy my first FORD (I havent even considered a suburban)

Im in the market to buy a v-10 model to tow my 79malibu on an open trailer.
Im getting rid of my daily driver 80 malibu that gets 11.6/14.9 mpg which will justify me getting a big truck

 

Hello and welcome to the best, friendliest Ford board ever! Lots of good info and people here, poke around and read as much as you can, don't be shy and ask questions. You should be able to find a nice V10 pretty easily. I'd start with Craigslist and search everyday. Some V10 owners may chime in to help you with what to look for when checking out the motor on a possible purchase.

Again, welcome aboard!

 

thank you I have 2 on craigslist that im interested in

 

Seems like there are lots of v10's for sale so you should be able to find a good deal.

Post the links to the best EX's you have found.

Let the hunt for the EX begin

 

Where are you located and how far do you want to go to get your EX?

 

found these bad boys

2001 Ford Excursion Limited
2002 Ford Excursion 8 Pass. Limited Edition


im in bucks co pa
maybe 100 miles

 

They both look really nice! The 01' has lower miles and they seem less firm on the price so I would start there. Make sure use have a mechanic you trust look it over before you buy it! Good luck!

 

Did you buy the 2002? I see the ad has been deleted already!

 

no I didnt get a chance to check it out and it sold but now I have my eye on this one
its not as clean but ill have to check it out in person

2000 ford excursion ,4x4,62k

 

Nice miles and nice price. Sellers would be asking about $2-3k more for it here in Michigan, unless it's a rust bucket like so many are up here.

 

Wow that is cheap, and just 62K on it. Looks like a deal.

 

That is a nice price for that mileage.

I know this one is a lot more than that but it's an Eddie Buer and 56k miles and newer.

2003 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer V10 Tow Only 56K Miles! 313-885-4000

 

And it's about 600 miles from 79malibu

 

If you are looking for a V-10 Excursion I would suggest you look for a 2003 or later model. By the way welcome to the board.

 

thanks what is different with the 2003+ they are all out of my budget ($6000)
