I know it has had some engine seals, windows regulators, fuel sending unit, and a few other things done. New brakes.

The price is right, but I am concerned about reliability.

What are you thoughts on an '01 3.0 with this many miles?

Any major concerns I should be aware of? Transmission/engine problems?? Others?

Thanks in advance for your expertise!
