Hello all, I have the opportunity to purchase a 2000 Excursion Limited with the V10 and 4.30 axle. The truck has @ 22,000 miles on it. This is a private sale so there is no warranty and the 3 years factory warranty has lapsed as the in service date was early in 2000.
Does anyone have an opinion of a reasonable price for the truck and also does anyone have an idea of the mileage I can expect with the 4.30 axle in the following scenarios.
- local driving (kid taxi for the wife)
- A family vacation, not towing and cruising at 65-70 MPH
- towing @ 6500#'s of camper at 60-65 MPH
Any help would be appreciated. I have been wrestling with the pickup vs excursion question and finally settled on the excursion and now am trying to decide if the V10 fuel mileage warrants the additional expense of the Diesel at acquisition.
Thanks and best regards Joe
