Bargain? 2005 V-10
2005 V-10, looks like an extremely good price if the Carfax looks decent.

Not bad...
Not bad, but that's a lot of miles for an '05! They must have never shut her off!
But the price is good.
FYI, I have my Black 04 EB X (V-10) for sale in the classified ads.
25K LESS miles than this one, loaded, will sacrifice for $19500

Some sellers intentionally don't mention 2WD sometimes.
In the "drivetrain" section this seller lists "V-style engine". Interesting why the seller would do this.

That makes sense then. My 04 is 4WD, do you guys think my asking price ($19500) is too low/high/about right?
04 Eddie Bauer
6.8L V-10
50K miles
4WD
Leather, power, cruise, etc.
New tires
DVD System (factory)
K&N Air intake, chroms handles
HID lights
I've had it for sale for 2 weeks and no serious offers/inquires? Maybe things will pick up as winter approaches, and 4WD demand goes up.

I paid $27,900. for mine in Nov. 06. But THREE big differences. 1) had 14,000 mi - still looks and smells new. 2) is a "certified" car, meaning ANYTHING that breaks...ANYTHING, is not my problem until 2011. 3) is FOUR wheel drive.
I cannot imagine anyone wanting to bother with a 2 wheel drive car if there is the same type vehicle avail. in four wheel drive. Someone once asked me what logic can I use to defend the extra expense, both at purchase, and in fuel. They want to know how many miles a year do I actually USE the four wheel drive feature. I explain I cant justify it in miles..only in feet! I rather doubt if I use the four wheel drive feature more than a few hundred feet a year, IF that. But those few feet...make the difference in walking to a phone booth to call for a tow, or RIDING in comfort.
So there is a BIG reason why I am willing to pay the premium to have four wheel drive.
And what happens if you have to sell it. Go try and get rid of a vehicle that was offered with four wheel drive, but, yours is the cheaper two-wheel drive version.

6686L, Some of us only need 2wd though and not diesel either. I can't in my situation justify additional money for diesel or 4wd when not really needed. I would rather pay $80 for a tow which will probably never occur than $3k more for something I will rarely use.
My point is to each his own. I am glad you are pleased with your Ex and yes there is a market for 2wd Excursions.
