[QUOTE="Tantrix, post: 14756193, member: 157910"] Just like any other vehicle, inspect the engine and just see how it was maintained. If it has been taken care of, there's no reason you won't go over 200k with no issues...the 4.6L is a good dependable engine. Some people (actually most) here will hesitate to even touch these cars if they have even near 100k miles on them, but it's all about how the car has been treated. If you need to, bring another person/friend along that knows cars so you have a better chance of spotting something wrong or something that will need repairing soon. As far as the double clutch thing in reverse, that isn't a big surprise as it is a known fact they have weak spots from the factory which is why a lot of people do T56 swaps. Personally, I'd rather have a built one from the T45 source...they are absolutely bulletproof once they are done with it. [/QUOTE]
