My wife wants us to get a minivan. We have found an \\'03 Odyssey EX-L with a little over 100k for $5,000.

I am interested in a 2003 Excursion Limited. The owner put 30 photos on craigslist and it looks immaculate. The photos linked to his photobucket with even more photos.

The only problem is that the Excursion has 230k on it. He\\'s asking $7,500 and is willing to go lower.

Is it crazy to get a vehicle with this many miles? I\\'ve read about people getting over 400k on the v10 engine, but are those anomalies? What should I look out for if we go to look at it?

Thanks,

Don Hamilton

Could you guys look at these photos of underneath and see if you notice anything I should be worried about.

Also, are there other forums for the EX that are more traveled?
