Great vehicle. Don’t really want to sell as they will never make a vehicle like this again but I just don’t need it right now. Clean, well cared for… it’s a 20 year old vehicle so it’s not perfect. New Radiator, fan clutch, coolant reservoir Fresh oil change… always has full synthetic. Could use brake job as it has a warped rotor.I would entertain trades, preferably a newer Beetle or Wrangler possibly a small fishing boat.

Cheap seats (most were leather), so entry level vehicle w/minimal creature comforts.
But a great engine. If maintained well, should last 400-500K miles.

Last two of these sold on BaT were in the high $50,000s !!!
Rick, was that a typo? Did you mean $15,000?
There are at least 25 Diesel 4WD Excursions for sale in the US right now under $15K. Some have over 400,000 miles on them (they’re typically less than $10K).
Quite a few have less miles than the one above, but none are that cheap.
I love the idea of flipping it, but trust me: If you buy one, you won’t sell it. 🙂

I might buy this and sell my truck.
