Potential new purchase
What do you guys think of this? I am not afraid to do some work on my vehicles but, I dont want to get into a turd either. It looks like the oil was done on a pretty regular basis but, I didnt see things like spark plugs being done.
Any advice is appreciated. 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 Wickliffe OH 21456156

Spark plugs last a long, long time now. Not like back in the day when every 20k miles or every year. Make sure it hasn't been through a flood or something like that. Have a good shop look it over on the lift before you buy, they are experienced at finding hidden and not so hidden damage, evidence of collision damage, bodywork, repainting and signs of abuse or neglect.

The truck is at 157K miles. Just in time for transmission service, axle oil service, transfer case service and past the time for a coolant flush.
Is there really not another truck under $20,000 with fewer miles? The plugs and coils on the 5.0L are easy and are the least of your concerns.
