Picked up an Excursion

Picked up an Excursion the other day. Plan to fix the radiator and keep it as a spare vehicle for the family.

Nice pick up, doesn't look too bad. Just a little TLC will get it looking ship shape. I really like the color as well, kinda wish mine was that shade.

This was the listing. I agreed to buy it without seeing it as long as it would run and drive well enough to load it on the trailer and he had a good title for it. was asking 800 when I contacted him then changed it to 500. One of those deals where someone was selling it for the owner. That guy ended up going out of town and I met up with the owner a few weeks later and bought it directly from him. One of those deals that had scam written all over it but turned out good. I would have not went to go get it had it been in Chicago but in a small town I decided to check it out.

Great find, with a little work you will have a nice ride or keep it as a parts car. $500 bucks was a steal
