Same here. My truck will be leaving for the new owner Tuesday or Wednesday. Already looking around. Went to Autotrader and searched F250. 2,200 trucks. Hit v-10 and crew cab as filters I looked through all 3 trucks pretty quick. Everybody holds on to them. Found a super clean one but sold before I could get to it.

Lots of beat up stuff, “just replaced engine” stuff, and insanely high mileage stuff.
Then i found my little gem: 2007 E350 V10 cargo van with only 113,000 miles, power windows/locks/mirrors, RKE, parking sensors, factory tow package, ...
and here we are 5 years later, with 325,000 miles and the ol’ beast has been napping in the same parking spot for three months with cylinder 5 half-full of coolant.

imagine trying to get a V10 E-series. That’s what I did a few years ago. I’m very anti-diesel, but I needed power to tow my enclosed trailer w/ race car. A half year of rather intense searching to find the one I bought.

It had the same coolant in it the whole 220,000 miles (5yrs) I owned it. And maybe the same coolant for the 113,000 miles (6yrs) before I owned it.
Im left wondering if the super-old coolant had some chemical changing and caused the head gasket to go bad or something.
I put a borescope in the spark plug hole and could see the coolant trickle down the cylinder wall on the side nearest the exhaust manifold.

I looked for about 4 months last year here in the PNW before finding an 06 F250 King Ranch. Price was a little higher but mileage was only 88k. Really love the truck. My brother has an 08 F350 XLT with maybe 40k miles. We both enjoy the truck and not the mileage. But, we didn't buy them for mileage. Good luck on the hunt.
