Buying the 2005 Ford Excursion
No 2005 Ford Excursion is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page sets out the 2005 Ford Excursion for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Excursion
NHTSA has 65 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and engine. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The Excursion in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Excursion on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Excursion tells you more than any review. Rent the Excursion for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Your move
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 2005 Ford Excursion from us first.
