[QUOTE="MachME, post: 15572517, member: 38217"] With the MKS just be prepared to spend more on parts. Like it should have swivel headlights, I imagine you have to replace the whole unit when those go bad. Just do your research on the platform to see if any common issues, like a wheel bearing for example. Check common TSBs and if any recalls are out and have them done. I can tell you earlier model FWD based 3.5's had PTU failures on the AWD cars. Buying high mileage I would try to get report on servicing from Ford. I would replace all fluids in everything, plugs, pull turbo piping and intercooler and clean, clean all sensors in intake with MAF cleaner, check brakes and shocks for replacement etc. If it has cooled seats, those have filters under the seat typically that need changed. I can also tell you the FWD based 3.5s have the water pump in the motor, the f150 does not. Ford rates life of everything 10yr/150 in manuals it looks like, factory fill transfluid = 150k. No serviceable fuel filter, it is a sock on pump 150k....that would probably need looked at. [/QUOTE]
