Good job on the find!

When I bought mine a few years back, I was looking all over the Southeast. Ended up finding the perfect rig only five miles from the house

I'm a lucky dog...

Ditto that here.. I was watching auctions all across the country, and happened to see one pop up on craigslist that was exactly what I wanted, and for LESS than the dealers auction average.

Needless to say, I went to look at it with cash in fist, ready to buy on the spot. I haven't been disappointed, even though it has had most of the common problems (seat heater wire fried, no codes for the keyless entry on the door, rear lift gate lock needs to be disassembled and cleaned because it won't lock, sagging springs, etc)

I don't know if you've gotten the door code yet. Mine didn't have it either when I got it. The dealer got it for me by running my VIN.

Thanks guys, I picked it up for 10,500.00 I feel I did pretty good & I made the dealer throw in a 60 day power train warranty and 50 bucks worth of gas. (BTW, it was only a 1/2 tank haha)

Thank you very much, I'm hoping to get a look at an OASIS too.

There is no SUV like an Ex, its the best SUV made.

Looks like a nice Ex! I ended up driving about 6 hours to get mine so I can certainly empathize!

The 2010 Excursions are done by automotive customizers - not factory. Just depends on what you are looking for - but some look really nice and get you the newer dash, engines, and front ends. The link above doesn't work - but google 'autos by tim' and you'll find the site which has more info.
