I am a current owner of a nicely built 2006 Ford F350 but I am looking to make a switch for the sake of my growing family. I have been looking for an Excursion with the following options:
-Diesel engine
-4x4
-Low mileage

Well I think I found my vehicle. It is a 2000 Excursion as follows:
-Only 43,000 miles
-4x4
-Limited model
-Stock besides CAI and exhaust
-7.3L diesel

I had been tracking low mileage 6.0L and the sweet spot for pricing with my criteria was in the $20,000 to $25,000 range which matches the blue book values. But when I start to look at a 2000 Excursion with the 7.3L for book value, prices are in the $10,000 to $14,000 range. But the asking prices seem to trend well over the blue book value.

So with the 2000 Excursion I am eyeing for purchase, what do you think is a fair selling price?

 

$30,000-$35,000 based on this, depending on condition and upkeep:

-Only 43,000 miles
-4x4
-Limited model
-Stock besides CAI and exhaust
-7.3L diesel

 

A 2002 Excursion with 58,000 one owner miles with the 7.3 and the limited package was bidded up to $37k when I stopped watching it up here. I paid $21.7k for my 01 with one owner 106k miles limited 7.3. They're all over the map depending on if the person knows what they have or not.

 

i paid 18 for mine and it is a 2000 limited 4x4 with the 7.3. it had 118000 miles when i bought it and that was three years ago

 

Personally i kinda get a kick out of the people that pay $30+ k for these very low mileage 7.3 excursion.

Personally I'd look for one around 100k in the $15k range that has had all its maintance done.

Look at it this way, The 7.3 is consertivitly a 300k motor with many going 500k +
But what people often over look is the drivetrain maintance cost.
At about 75k miles your going to need brakes, ball joints, tie rods
170k to 250k seems to be the range for a trans.

If you plot out the mileage based operating cost to accumulated mileage vehicle value it's pretty clear the ultra low mileage ones are an emotional buy opposed to a value buy.

But at the end of the day, buy what makes you happy. It's cool there are still ultra low mileage Excursions around.

 

I would say its worth mid 20's but I'm sure someone will pay in the mid 30's.
Just not me. I would buy one with more miles in the mid teens before I would pay that on a 15 year old vehicle.

 

This^^^^^


My 7.3 was bought with around 240,000 miles on it. But the trans has 9,000 miles on a rebuild, and the balljoints n such have been done too. So I didn't think the milage was a big deal as I've seen 500k plus on them with nothing but general maintenance and repairs.

 

Unfortunately these seem to be the ultimate example of supply and demand. My dad has been casually looking for one for a couple of years, but it's just hard to swallow paying $20K+ for a 15+ year old vehicle without many of the features of the newer trucks.

7.3s are absolute work horses, but they are not without their share of maintenance needs. Oil leaks everywhere, injectors, IPRs, ICPs, etc. are not out of the realm. But the internals are easily good for 500K.

6.0s aren't the worst thing in the world, as long as they have been bullet proofed and had the EGR deleted, which is significant extra expense.

Also, don't forget that if anything were to ever happen to it, your insurance company is probably going to go by Blue Book, which might be thousands less than you have into it.

Good luck in your hunt.
