Back in an Excursion!
Picked up an '05 EB 6.0L yesterday and I couldn't be more excited. It was a one owner, very well taken care of, and has 113k miles. It drove like a dream.
It looked like it was a soccer mom mobile and wasn't driven much. I did the inspection with the mechanic and ran a scan tool as well and no issues.
The only thing I need to find is the seat belt buckle and middle bench seat belt combo. I guess it had broke and the owners never replaced it. I am sure I can find it somewhere pretty decent.
I will post some pics when I get a chance.

Congrats!
Mine was a cream-puff too, it was just covered in Amarillo dust, lol!
Head to Autozone and pick yourself up a scanguage to keep an eye on things.
Mine has more than paid for itself by helping me catch a failing alternator before I had to pay for new batteries and maybe a FICM.

I actually saw quite a few in the San Diego/Orange County area. I am from San Diego and I am traveling back there in May and was going to pick one up and drive back to PA. But this one fell out of the sky. I would say they aren't very popular around here.

I picked up an Actron scanner before I bought it so I too will keep and eye on it. I was glad to see the real time data as I was given a heads up about the EGR cooler clogging and the temp difference that should be there.

Congratulations! I'm looking for another as well after trading mine for a new Navigator. I really like the gator, but not as much as the Excursion. I think I'm going to try for a 7.3L this time...I was always afraid of the 6.0L going bad. Besides, I want to bump the power in it and I know the 7.3 will handle more without worrying about the head bolts.
I may have just convinced my wife to sell our old Jaguar to get into one too! She likes driving the Navigator more.

The middle buckle and belt might of slipped below the seat. Check under the seat.
