y'all think 97,000 miles is high for a 1997 460? Anything I should look out for? thanks

 

I bought my '97 with 181,000 miles on it- now has 190,000. It's not my daily-driver, but it could be. Engine is strong and everything on the truck works. Did have to get the E4OD rebuilt though.

Of course, any time you buy a used vehicle (even new for that matter), it's a crap-shoot. Could run another 200,000 miles or it could die a mile down the road. Good Luck!

 

That's less than 12K a year. Could indicated a short-tripper (mostly in-town miles).

Check the brakes thoroughly, including having the rotors mic'd. If you buy it, immediately turn around and service the tranny, flush the cooling and brake system, tune up the ignition (plugs, wires, cap, and rotor), change the belts and hoses, and install a new O2 sensor. Unless the owner has knowledge of all maintenance, chances are these things haven't been touched and are in need of attention.

That's pretty much what I figured. I should've asked a question more towards common problems that a majority of people had. Stuff like that. I had to replace the water pump on my dad's '95 F350 460 when it turned 40,000. That was kind of odd.
