Sold for $18,950, this 2005 [Ford Excursion](https://fridayswatchlist.com/search?make=Ford&model=Excursion) Eddie Bauer Power Stroke 4×4 fetched strong money given its mileage and specs.
This Excursion is a one-owner SUV powered by a 6.0-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8. With 235,000 miles on the clock, it’s clear this rig has been used, but it comes with a solid maintenance history and over $43,000 spent on upkeep. That’s a big deal for buyers looking for a reliable family hauler or off-road adventure vehicle. The five-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case boost its off-road cred, making it more than just a highway cruiser. The Aspen Green Metallic finish with Arizona Beige accents gives it a unique look, while the spacious interior with third-row seating caters to families or anyone needing extra room.
At $18,950, this sale came in slightly above the Fair Value estimate of $18,300, placing it about 4% higher than expected. The 23 bids show there was plenty of interest, which speaks volumes about the desirability of this setup. High-mileage vehicles often face price scrutiny, but this one’s solid service history and diesel engine likely reassured bidders.
One community member summed it up well, saying, “Congrats to the winner. Appreciate everyone who took part!” This reflects a healthy auction environment where participants were eager to engage.
