Thinking of buying the 2003 Ford Excursion?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2003 Ford Excursion for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Before you buy the 2003 Ford Excursion, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 106 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and service brakes. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The numbers in plain words
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What to expect from the Excursion
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the Excursion is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Send a request
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
