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.
Not bad with the mileage.
I paid under $3K for mine with 180k miles, but it did need a few small maintenance items and has typical clearcoat issues from this year truck. Interior and drivers seat are in good shape though which is the hardest thing to find.
Always wanted one and the first tow did not disappoint compared to my old half ton burb.
The year 2000+ Suburbans in my area are almost all terribly rusted...but most of the Excursions are too and for twice the price.
