Kelley Blue Book says the suggested retail price on that car, with that mileage is about $12,500.
This is a HUGE step down from an Excursion, so I highly recommend a test drive and include some freeway. Older 4 cylinder Escape where not known for their "put you back in the seat" acceleration so merging onto a freeway may be an issue. (BTW, this is no longer an issue with the 2009 4 cylinder; bigger engine and 6 speed transmission make a world of difference.)
Like any high mileage car, it will need some maintenance. I'm certain the tires have been replaced which is good because the OEM Continentals were very noisy. If possible take it to a professional and have them check the front suspension for excessive wear as well as the brakes, but I would do that on any high mileage car.
The transmission in that vehicle (CD4E) is not Ford's best, but there are a lot worse one !
