New Guy, First X

Hey everyone, I have been lurking for several months while I research what exactly I needed to know about the Excursion. I am normally a Mustang guy but am needing to tow a horse trailer and already have an 05 F-150, so here we are. I just got my first X Friday. I think I stole it, I feel like I got a really good deal.

2000 7.3 4x4 Limited with only 95,000 miles. It is the "old lady only drove it to church" story. The best part, I only paid $10,500.

I used to be a mechanic in a former life so I hope to have this thing squared away pretty quick. Anyway, just wanted to show it off a bit and say hello. Thanks for all the great information.

I think that you did steal that thing, did it come with a title or was that a "I know it's floating around here somewhere I'll get it to you soon" kinda deals? Good lucking truck and welcome! There's people around here asking that and then some for a V10 with more miles vs. a 7.3 with less than 100k! THIEF!!!!! LOL!

You got ripped off but tell you what, bring it to me, I'll give you 11k (to ease the pain) and you can try again.

Thanks everyone! I did actually have a few title issues and ended up with a bonded title but it's not stolen! lol I also learned during this foray into the dark world of the DMV that you can just take any car you want and get a title for it. It's pretty crazy.
Thanks Apocalypse for the heart-felt and generous offer, but sadly, I must decline.

Nice color choice

Welcome to the club, feel free to empty every pocket and kiss your money a loving farewell - modifying these things is addictive.

Congrats on the new to you X!!!

Where in The Great State of Texas are you?

I know two people who are well versed and may be able to speed things along with getting your truck ironed out...

Thanks again for the welcome! I'm in wonderful and exciting town of Waco. Bring on the Branch Davidian and Baylor jokes!
I ordered the Moog sway bar end links, an ABS sensor and brake pads last night. Hopefully I'll spend Friday getting to know this guy.
