The aforementioned problems aren't guaranteed. I know of a 4.4 that has 200,000 on it and hasn't had anything done engine wise apart from coolant stuff and the gearbox.

I'll bet you a weeks paycheck have him pull off the timing cover and chucks of his timing chain guide are gone and or cracked. Ticking time bomb.
Yes the 3.0 are not the fastest. I hate to see someone buy a E53 V8 because it WILL suck them dry.
