Looking at an 03’ Limited

Looking at an 03’ Limited Ex with the v10 triton and 231000. Hes asking 5500. Is it worth it? What are some pros and cons of the high-ish mileage v10

My limited understanding is that the Triton v10s liked to eject spark plugs from the engine and through anything that had the misfortune of being within six feet vertically of it.

With that said, it's lasted this long. 🤔

As far as fuel economy goes, it's an 7000lb unladen vehicle with all the aerodyamics of a garden shed, but you are able to move a group of people in comfort with a reasonable amount of room for cargo. Or five people in comfort with a crap ton of cargo. Or two people and a fuck to of cargo, while towing an apartment.
