OASIS help, please
Hi,
Found another purchase hopeful. Please let me know if recalls have been done and if any trouble warning signs (6.0 issue, buyback, etc) exists on this 2004 Excursion 4x4 Ltd.
I ran this through the FlatRateTech site, but the comment I got back only stirred more questions...can somebody take a look at the report on this one and see what skeletons may be in the closet. (Response I got back> "no open campaigns, recalls. but i don't think you really want this Excursion")

Thanks in advance,
Carl

That part isn't suprising. The thing is, Carfax will help you avoid the obvious Wreckage/ Flood Damage/Title issues. OASIS is a good way to identify units that could potentially be trouble down the road, on the theory that if they made it this far with a minimum of drama or shop time, there's no reason they shouldn't continue being solid vehicles.

Very true. I subscribed to Autocheck and the report was benign on this car--registered 6/04 in Anaheim, CA, reported at auction 4/21/06. So, did the previous owner just trade it in? Or perhaps made a deal with the dealership? Or this isn't even the dealership it originated from? You would think with that many pages of warranty claims, there might have been a lemon law claim made--I guess they weren't repeat items...

It has to be a repetition of serious issues to generate a lemon-law claim- even then it's time consuming. This is more a series of things over the time of ownership. It doesn't show lease vs. trade-in, so there's no way of knowing. It did have a Ford ESP on it though.
