2002 4.6is purchase advice

[rrich49132]

I kept hearing about the trans on these cars should I stay away from those with this kind of mileage that has not had this done?

I found another one locally with 91k miles that is a one owner car but he is asking $19,900 which I am not sure I could get down to a level I would be buy it for. Does look super clean and he claims it does not have as much as a scratch on it but I can tell you from experience that I would find imperfections. A 9 yr old car with have some to be expected.

I am not going to pay 18k for the one I just looked at. I was thinking $15500 but after your post I may go like $14,700 which is more than he will get if he ends up trading it in which he will eventually I assume. I did push it hard no trans issues at all.

By the way why does this one have some sort of mesh type fabric and not solid leather interior:
