thinking about getting a second one

$7900 but im thinking of doing a straight trade for my vw w8 ... pasenger side exhaust manifold is being held on by two bolts .. and rust under the whole truck .. but it is not bad it is light ..the exhaust is where the bulk of the rust is .. it is a v10 with 190,000 miles .. and a nice lift .. front tires are good the back ones are balding in the middle ... it would match my current 2wd one lol ..

Go for it if the rust is light, or if youre willing to save her from that kind of demise.

Would love a second one, but $ is not gonna allow that

Is that white PlastiDip on the factory rims? It looks surprisingly cool!

That isn't a bad price. I'd be happy with it. Do it.

I would say a hard pass on that one man. Almost 200k on a gasoline engine? Even in excellent condition the blue book doesn't reach $6000. I prefer diesel, but if you can talk them down quite a bit, then go for it.

it would be a straite trade for my vw w8 .. i am done working on this one where i have to take the whole thing apart to just do one thing .. this ex would be easyer to work on and well i do already own a 7.3 and i would like a diesel one also but i dont have cash lol .. and everyone wants 20k for them .. my vw w8 is becoming a tempermential bitch who will soon requier the motor to be droped inorder to replace a damn o2 sensor lol

i also curently have a e350 with the v10 with 250 000 miles on her .. granted it has a new motor in it due to a cracked headgasket not noticed by the previous owner

I've been looking at some of the higher mileage diesels around here, that price isn't too bad considering the lift/tire combo. I wonder if it has gears to match

U should just sell your vw w8 and do the conversion to 4x4 a little work but you know the truck. My fam had two excursions at one point and its not worth it, after a while you feel like your neglecting on of them then you'll just sell it.

I agree. I don't know about the market for the w8's but I would eBay that thing and then take the cash and get whatever you want. Dollars to doughnuts (whatever the hell that means) if you had the money in your hand and not just a title you would pass on it in a heartbeat!

They want too much for a rusted out Ex. I'd sell the car and do some shopping for an Ex.

I paid less than $7K for my rust-free southern Excursion with 112,000 miles on it. Of course I had to fly to Alabama to get it.

Excursions are rare(ish), but they aren't unicorns. You can still find others, don't jump on this one just because it's there
