So my wife decided she wanted to sell her Mazda cx7 and said she wanted something with a 3rd row so we could fit our 2 girls plus the great dane and boxer a little more comfortably on trips to the snow. Well I couldnt resist but to give her my sales pitch on all the reasons why she should get a diesel Excursion. And even though she seemed somewhat responsive to more room and better mileage than other 3rd row options she was still a little skeptical of the hugeness. Anyways I kept on her and found one that I thought would be a good deal. I even told her when we went to look at it that it was her car and that she was gonna need to drive it everyday so if she didnt like it I wouldnt give her any crap. Long story short we came home with a 2005 6.0L 4x4 and its awesome.

Looks to be in very good conditions

 

Yah its pretty nice for the most part. Needs some things here and there but we got it for $3,900 below blue book so we have some money to spend and still be ahead of things. They had a bunch of work done because of an egr failure about 45k miles ago so it has new heads, bullet proof egr cooler, new injectors and a bunch of other stuff that I need to confirm with their old mechanic. The only bummer is they didnt put head studs in when the head work was done. For all the money spent I just cant understand why they didnt.
