Great deal for a V10 4X4 as long as it's clean.

00 Ford Excursion 4x4
Looks well taken care of, $6k little high for my liking. I got mine for $2900 but mine also has 170k+ miles.

There's no clean 4X4's going for $2900 even with that many miles round these parts. Most are over $10K.

Where you from? I got mine in Sunland, Ca last week

Guy was asking $3500 I talked him down and tried at $2800 he went with I'll wash it, fill gas tank up and you give me $3000 I said you can clean it don't care about gas and I'll give you $2900. Told him to think about it over night and a hour later he text me back I'll take it

So far absouluty nothing, shifts great 4x4 works great, only thing I did is fresh oil change yesterday with motor craft synthetic oil and filter

He did just buy a 2000ish F350 Dually with 6" lift V10 so he didn't need the Ex anymore.

Excursion even has good tires and probably good for another year or so.

If you find a clean 4x4 for 2900 you should always buy it. You could double your money with little effort. The clean ones are the rarest. Dirty, dented, wrecked, billion mile, ripped leather Excursions are unfortunately the norm in today's market. I like the one CM linked too other than that scrape/dent on the quarter panel. I even like the cloth interiors. Comfortable and long lasting.

Thanks she is by far perfect does have the typical wear on drivers seat, was a little dirty on the inside but nothing a cleaning didn't take care of, guy used it to go to a off road location for fishing and camping. She was clean and rust free but did have left over dirt from a mud area he found. Washed that all off with the hose the other day when I gave her a bath, a small ding in right rear quarter panel but nothing serious. Some sun fade on her paint but again like I said she is far from perfect but certainly still a great deal.

Before I did buy this one I found a couple others but this one seemed to fit right and I believe the other two were white and I'm a little over the white color

Also she is limited edition, only issue I have is I love Excursions and this one is my wife's lol so if it were mine I would love it more ha ha miss mine mine was a 2003 4x4 suffered from the typical 6.0 problems and at the time I didn't know what it takes to fix them. Traded it out for my 2005 Dually.

I'm not in the market to start a Excursion resale business but perhaps if I were I could make money easily

Would this be easier than just swapping the springs?

Depending on the gear ratio those have it could be a sweet deal.

I may call to get the ratio and spring codes. They are kind of far from me.

All PSD EXs came with 3.73 gears so that's what they should be. Since the ad doesn't have a picture it may be more work than just a spring swap if the axles for sale are separated from the springs currently. I don't know what, if any benefit there would be for you to swap your 3.73 axles for another set of 3.73 axles though, unless you have tons of miles on yours and the ad ones are much lower miles. Swapping axles gets you into messing with brake lines, track bar and steering linkages that a simple spring swap wouldn't have you touching. Well maybe a track bar with new springs if needed, I am still using the factory track bar with my modded X codes but some others have had issues and gone with a adjustable bar.
