Bought first Excursion - Please help!

Hello everyone! Ebayed myself a 2000 model excursion, V10, 130,000miles. I'm scheduled to go pick it up this coming Tuesday. My mom owned 3 diesel excursions and i owned a 2000 V10 superduty, so I should know what to expect IE horrible mileage, will need front hubs replaced, weak transmissions, etc.

I haven't paid for the excursion yet so I can still back out if I find something materially different from the listing. What do I need to be looking for as far as the vehicle being mechanically sound? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to the listing. Thanks.

Wow...a great deal if everything is up to snuff! I would have the ball joints tested, but even if they need to be replaced, I think you are ahead of the game at that price.

Agree'd. Unless you get there and the motor or tranny is toast, there's really no reason to back out at that price. Looks like a solid truck.
