Oasis report?

Hello,

I posted this request in the Record Low Price - Excursion thread, since I felt this one qualified for it, but thought maybe I should put it here as well.

I have been thinking about selling my Supercab F150 4X4 and buying an Excursion. Well, today I found a deal on one that I don't think I can pass up. It's a 2000 4X4 limited; V-10, leather, rear air and flip down dvd player and it has 213,000 miles. It's also a repo so it is filthy, but everything works and it drives great with no slop in the steering. The motor sounds tight. Ironicly, the engine compartment is cleaner than the interior. It needs tires and the right side towing mirror-there are two stumps where it used to be. $2700. I was planning on spending 8-10 grand on one, but this one will let me spend the extra $ fixing it up the way I want it.

Would someone here be able to run the OASIS report for me, please? I would really appreciate it.

VIN# 1FMNU43S2YEA02096

It hardly seems I can go wrong at that price, but I would like to get opinions from you guys. Also, anything else I should look for when I go get it in the morning? This will be my first Excursion, but I think I am going to like it.

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks Bigken. I am going to pick it up tomorrow AM. I don't know what the cruise control deactivation thing is about, but will do a search for it here. Is there anything else I should look out for?

Thanks again,
Scott

The cruise control recalls are about fire hazards. They want to disconnect cruise controls until the parts are available to correct the faulty system. The parts might already be available, probably are.

This is a February press release.....


Ford is asking owners to take affected trucks and cars to a Ford dealership, where the cruise control parts will be either repaired or deactivated until parts are available to fix the problem. Cars can be repaired now. Truck parts should be available in June, 2008.
More models have been added to the recall list and some owners haven't responded to recall notices, leaving about 5 million vehicles at risk of fire.
