My guess is if he's asking about a chipped truck, he's already got one in mind. Personally if i'm shopping, I go for unmodified, even if I plan to apply modifications later. That way I know if something goes wrong with them it's my own fault, and can't blame the previous owner.
I hunted craigslist for months without finding anyhting quite right, and in the end ended up using vehix.com. Craigslist is cool, however it's limiting in the sense that you can only do your local area at a time, each surrounding area is another search, and there's not a whole lot of Excursions for sale, and I was willing to drive quite a hike to get it.

I bought my Excursion on eBay over two years ago and had to fly to Houston, TX to bring it back. Texas seems to be a good place to find good deals on salt-free SUVs and I've been real happy with my purchase. I bought mine from Texas Direct Auto.

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully things will be back to normal before long and you'll have your X.
Gas jumped up to $2.00 a gallon hear in NW IN, a $.50 increase in a few days. Now I won't be driving mine as much.
