Certified Pre-Owned: the 2003 Ford Excursion
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2003 Ford Excursion for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2003 Ford Excursion, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the Excursion
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The figures, translated
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
The Excursion in everyday use
Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Excursion for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2003 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Questions first?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2003 Ford Excursion from us first.
