Didn't want to link the picture from the ad because someone might buy it from under me.

No real way to tell from the rear view - is there a front view, showing the headlights?

Looks like the tail lights are on and as both top and bottom red lamps are on, I'd say it was an LCI (and therefore a 4.8is) but tail light mods are pretty common....

Definitely a 4.6...but who sells a vehicle without putting a year on listing? Strange. If owner doesn’t even know what they have...I’d be too suspicious to pursue. Just my 2c.

from the rims, exhaust, rear fenders front and rear diffusers, it shows to be a 4.6iS
I can see the side badge to say 4..but it isn't clear.
Definitely not 4.8iS, as the front diffuser for the 4.8 is different.

You only need to see the headlights and left and right fender lines at the front edge, which are a dead giveaway....
