Keep looking, but stop fixating on Excursions IMO. Time is not on your side if you want a good reliable budget rig for this summer.
The other half of "reliable" with an old car is "knowing" it a bit. Not signing the title, hooking up a trailer and hoping to not have a breakdown in Nebraska somewhere because you didn't do your due diligence.
Regarding the Excursion with the engine and trans a long time ago. Worth a look, IMO, but records to back that up would be required as the parts will not "look" new.
There are good deals on good suvs out there. But like anything, the more popular and limited production run ones (Excursions) will cost more and be less plentiful.
Nother nice one I saw here. 97 3/4T Suburban, 4x4, 454, 130k miles. Just from the pics it wasn't mistreated. $4700 obo.
If that was the same vehicle but a CC LB pickup, it would be 50% mo money.
