Two years ago my family of 6 decided to get into camping. We bought a toyhauler and 4 atvs and camped twelve times over 2 years utilizing the Excursion to pull that camper. We sold the camper in September, and now I really dont need this Excursion anymore. I love the truck, but I would rather own a late model F150 so I can have a bed to haul my remaining ATV.

So I have sunk alot of money in this Excursion over the last couple years making it the best I could, and my question is: What is a fair asking price for this Excursion?


2005 Ford Excursion 6.0L 4x4 Eddie Bauer
Oxford White exterior with two tone brown/tan leather
The truck has 2 previous owners both registered in Florida. It is the most rust free truck I could find in IL. The previous owner traded it in on an F250 due to blown head gaskets. ( I didnt know this) I bought the truck at 93,000 miles and at 96,000 miles I had a new long block and many new parts installed (see list below). The truck currently runs Excellent. Clear title in hand.

Edit* as I forgot a few things.
One rebuilt and one new front hub. shift on the fly 4wd works great
High lift rear hatch struts

Any other details a buyer would want to know?

 

That's all nice but you never get the cost and time back that went into all the goodies. They would weigh heavily with me if I was the buyer but most are mostly looking at the selling price. The area makes a difference also so you might shoot for some long range buyers. Lots of people looking for these will travel.

 

I'd say 15k.

 

Thanks for the response

 

Agreed, just looking for a price to list it. I looked for months before I bought this one and expect to find a similar buyer

 

If you hold out you can probably find a buyer that appreciates the work done.

 

X2, some don't want to deal with suspension changes and studs..

 

Don't sell it less than $22K

 

Somewhere between 17k and 19k.

 

He might have to keep it..........lol

 

I agree a bulletproofed 6.0 X with no rust and some necessary mods known to X's is worth a slight premium over a stock X in the same shape!

 

I would start at 21k, you don't have to sell it if you get a lot of call's and you can go down from there if need be. Good luck with your sale

 

Plus a lot of would be buyers will move on right away.

 

Consider this truck with a new engine at 10,000 miles with all the upgrades, it is a steal for less than $20K.

 

look at prices of X's in Texas where they are a dime a dozen. Yours sounds to be in great shape, with all the good stuff already done. Comparison wise in your area, you are looking at $20-25k for a great shape X. Alot of people in this section of FTE don't understand those prices...but then again most haven't been shopping for a high end X with all the goodies either.

I personally would ask low $20's

And I personally wish you'd had this for sale a few months back...because I would have bought it. The new longblock alone makes it worth it IMO. Especially with all the other stuff done
