I have been looking for a 2001-2002 PS Excursion hard for about almost three weeks now. It seemed every time I got close to one it sold. Well I found one on a Infitini dealer website the day they took in the trade. The the single owner just traded it in on Inifinit SUV, some $65k plus SUV. The dealer got the car on Wednesday and I stopped by to look at it yesterday. It just got done being detailed and was in the back of their lot it hasn't even put out in the front of their lot yet. It is a 2002 Excursion, Limited PS, 4x4, 40,500 miles, it doesn't have the second row bench but buckets seats like the front, dvd player, towing mirrors, running boards, towing mirrors, etc.. It is really loaded. I got to look at it with no sales guy bugging me since it was in the back outside the detail shop and it was unlocked. It is a clean car with just a few normal wear and tear on it. I found a sales man and asked him what would you sell the Excursion for, he told me straight out $31500 I thought this was a streal since I know that these are listed on KBB between $37k-$38k. I saw another Excursion just like this and the guy wouldn't budge below $33k and it didn't even have the DVD in it. So when I heard $31,500 I was like this guy doesn't know what he has. I was trying to negotiate a better deal on my trade in 2001 Ford F-150 Extended Cab Lariat. He offered me $14,500 on the trade in and I was pushing for $15k. He then had to go get approval from his manager for the higher trade in and when is manager saw he was selling the Excursion for $31,500 the manager was smoked. They have had wholesalers offering them more money for the car then the $31,500 So to make a long story short I got it for $31,500 with a trade in on my truck for $14,500 I think I got a steal of a deal. I get to pick it up this afternoon. Does anyone think that is a steal of a price or just an ok price? Also the only thing I couldn't figure out is if it has the 3.73 limited slip differential. Is there any way of figuring that out? The sales person even printed out the carfax and it came up clean. What do you think?

I love my Excrusion a lot. The only place the dealer got me is they didn't have the keycode for the kepad. So I will have to take it into to Ford and pay the money to have them retrieve the code. Other then that I think I did very well on my purchase. I love the diesel, I am getting 18.2 mpg driving to and from work. On open highway I do even better. I also love the large gas tank because when I find diesel cheap I fill it up and it lasts me awhile.

I agree, I love the my PSD X for just the same reasons. Congrats on your new truck. Put some pics in your album for all to see.

Cheers
