should i purchase

I have always wanted an excursion I currently drive an expedition and I love it. However I am really looking for a diesel. I found a 2000 X with the 7.3l it has 231,613 on it one owner clean carfax in Colorado. I would have to fly out to get it and bring it back to NJ. Is it worth it ??...Also, I love how high the expedition sits and the excursions dont seem to sit as high does anyone know why this might be?

8988 is what he is asking but i found one that is better in florida so i think i would probably go with that one. However, im still debating because i know my expedition and i put the work into it so its kind of like do i do the upgrade or just stick with what i have. I would hate to buy it and it not have the height and features my expedition has

Not sure how you are measuring the height but my Ex definitely has more ground clearance than my 99, 03 and 07 Expy's. 230k miles would be too many for me unless the seller had a pile of maintenance records to show me. Even then it would be a tough sell.
