I saw that as I was driving by. I also noticed the exhaust falling off it. That would help explain the price. I would take the engine though.

Other than towing my trailer nothing really. And my Excursion fits that bill just fine, but it's hard for me after owning new trucks for the past few years. I really like my Ex, but it doesn't have the power or comfort that comes with the newer trucks.

If it weren't for my kids I probably wouldn't have sold my '11, and that's the reason I really shouldn't buy this one. Unfortunately things are rather complex with those two and it's not likely to get better for awhile. My 17-month-old daughter has been in the hospital since Monday, and my 3-year-old son was diagnosed with autism on Wednesday.

If I have any self control, that's the plan. But I'm 27 years old and have purchased 8 new cars in my life, so that gives you some idea of what I'm fighting with!

Perhaps I should just go and wreck my credit for my own good!

Didn't get the new one in yet. I am going to tear it, and the old one, apart tomorrow. The new one to make sure all is well inside. The old one to find out the carnage inside.
