Pay a diesel mechanic to go over it... its worth a hundred or so bucks to get an independent mechanic to look it over and tell you its shortcomings.

Power stoke is a good engine, its second best right behind a Cummins... IF ITS BEEN MAINTAINED.

If it hasn't you get pinhole leaks in the cylinders that lead to hydrolocking and engine destruction.

There is no substitute for an independent professional evaluation of the vehicle before purchace. And maintenance recordssince it was new make it more valuable.
