We bought our 2005 Excursion 39S from a private individual last spring. We had several phone conversations with him. He sent us over 100 photos of every little detail that we asked for. He had the maintenance records, tire and battery ages, told us the few minor things that were wrong with it. He spent five hours with us going over everything and he filled the fuel tank with 100 gallons of diesel. ll of this after we negotiated a reasonable price.
His service contract still had two years on it that he signed over to us. If this had been a dealer, they might have thrown it away so they could try to sell us a new one.
If we buy another one, I'll look at a private sale first, but I will have to have "a warm and fuzzy fealing" about the seller.
