Finally made it. :-)

After 5 years I finally turned 30k on the Ex yesterday! Now the engine is finally broken in. :-)

My 16 year old son wants me to give him the Ex. I told him that when I die I will will it to him. By then it may have 75k on it. :-)

If you go to autotrader.com and search Excursions nationwide, you will find that you are probably in the top 10 as far as low mileage.

Just about everything out there has anywhere from 40,000 to 250,000 miles on them.


As for me, I just turned 51,000 miles on a 2003.

Do you only plan on living 7.5 more years? I would hope it would have 300k on it and be like brand new. That would be in about 45 years.

I bought mine in 12/09 with 25.5k on it. It now has ~40k on it - I put about 7500-8000 miles on my vehicles each summer - that is where the majority of the miles come from for me (I work at home also)!!

Obviously, I don't drive it to far although I drive it every day. I take my son to the bus stop about a 1/4 mile, and then to Dunkin Donuts, about 5 miles. Then maybe WalMart later in the day. I'm retired so no to and from work. When I did work I had a company car. Plus we have 5 cars and only 2 of us drive, plus the 2 Goldwings.

It very seldom goes on the highway. It's nice only having to get fuel every few weeks. The wifey wants me to sell it but I can't let it go.

We also have an 06 350Z that just broke 9k!!! :-)

I bought my Ex last March with only 51,000 miles. My intent was to use it only for towing my TT, turns out I love the ride so much I use it all the time. Now it has 60,000 miles on it.
