Quite unfortunate but I am looking to sell my Excursion. I LOVE this truck but life circumstances are forcing me to sell. It\\'s in good condition but needs some repairs.
Here\\'s the details:
- 219,000 miles, white with grey trim, just replaced all 4 tires about 3 months ago, miles traveled since have been low, grey interior, has windshield visor with lights, AM/FM cassette/cd plus multi disk changer (though disk carrier is missing), I have an iPod cable plugged into the mulit-disk input that will operate iPods and the 1st Generation iPhone, driver side power seat, heaters in front seats, automatic hubs were replaced with manual locking hubs
Here\\'s what I know it needs repaired:
- drivers side mirror is cracked (somebody hit the mirror when I was away...no damage to body of vehicle)
- drivers door trim is coming off
- driver\\'s side running board is broke at the rear...PA Winters are tough with salt and cinders
- Check engine light is on. Code reader is listing code for fuel injector. We believe it\\'s either an injector or the harness. Still runs fine but sometimes takes a couple attempts to start when it has sat for a couple days of no use
- interior lights stay on until you reach a certain speed or when not moving and engine off the timer will shut them off. A mechanic friend told me it\\'s a Body Control Module that goes bad.
- needs a parking brake cable
- front rotors need either turned or replaced
- brakes were replaced about 9 months ago
- recent PA inspection in 5/2011
- passenger rear door lock must be locked/unlocked manually
- sometimes the drivers side door lock must be done manually
- has body rust around rear wheel wells
- the most troubling issue now is that the steering is wobbling. I\\'ve researched here and no one seems to be able to pinpoint the issue. I had the steering box tightened up and that helped alot. The guy said it needs a front end alignment too. It was driving fine until just an hour ago after I made a sharp left turn and now the steering is wobbling again. Ugh! So it may need a steering box too.
I\\'m in the end part of a nasty divorce, a single dad with 2 boys and just cannot afford the repairs or the fuel to feed it anymore. I am located in Reedsville, PA. Central Pennsylvania. Is it weird to say my heart breaks to sell this truck? LOL But as you can see, it needs repairs.
How much? I really don\\'t know. I\\'ve done the kbb,com and private party used was coming up around $9,000. I just decided today to sell it so I\\'m still researching it but would be open to offers.
My email address is kevin229@gmail.com if you would like pictures I\\'ll email them to you. And if I think of anything else I will add to the post.
Thanks for looking. Seriously....I HATE to sell this vehicle! It is without a doubt one of the best ever made!  |

No interest thus far so I'm guessing the price is too high. I fully realize it needs a lot of repairs.
Does anyone have a suggestion to the price? I'd be more than happy to accept offers even if it's a number you think I'd pass. Please just ask. No harm doing that! I'm actually talking with some dealers to do a trade also but if I could sell it to an enthusiast like on here I would prefer that.
Thanks again for looking.
