Is a ford excursion worth it?

I'm looking to buy a 2000 to 2005 Ford excursion diesel. Is it worth it getting it? What's the MPG I can expect from it?

Gas is so cheap right now. Why put up with the stink and noise of a diesel?

" Is it worth it getting it? "

Hard to say, you didn't mention what you plan on doing with it or what your expectations are of the vehicle.

"What's the MPG I can expect from it? "

Gas V8 = 9-13 MPG
Gas V10 = 8-12 MPG
7.3L Diesel = 12-17 MPG
6.0L Diesel = 11-16 MPG
