Question 2013 E350 Convert.

I am thinking of purchasing an E350. However, I thought I'd check with this forum to see if any surprises await me, or things to inspect I look at it Friday. I welcome any pearls of advice, even if they are full of Jaffe's.
Thank you for any hot tips.
Regards
Fred

Thank you for your years of dedicated civil service, Fred.

These are nice predictable vehicles: the maintenance they have not have is the one they'll need.

-- Inquire about previous maintenance records

-- What sort of mileage are you considering: less than 100kMi or beyond?

-- Cylinder scoring with non-contributing compression.

-- New VVT gears and failed camshafts can add up x4

-- A OBD Scan will reveal faulty module activities.


Are you good with wrenching? Would you consider changing your fuel pumps?

Couldn't paste the pic.

Thank you CaliBenzDriver..I currently have a 2012 Caddy Coupe CTS-4. I really like it, but I want something a little more sporty. I used to have a 2013 Ford Convert. Coyote 5.0 w/ a 6-speed fun very fast car, but in town, I hated all the shifting. Thank you for your Reply and advice.

Nutz, I couldn't upload The picture... sorry.
