Any specific problems to look for in a 2008 E350 Wagon?
Hi everyone,
I'm going to look at a 2008 E350 wagon later today or tomorrow, and was wondering if there are any specific issues I need to try and look for.
It has 120k miles
I saw some bad news about balance shafts and such....
Thanks very much for any advice.

Do some research on the balance shafts - that problem was mostly fixed by '08, and you can do a search based on the VIN to see if your candidate car was affected by it.
Otherwise, if you like the car after your test drive, do as RW suggested and have it inspected by your indy. It's called a pre-purchase inspection, and it will probably cost you around $100-150 and it's well worth the money.
