Questions? Advise needed.

Ok so I have more questions in regards to my journey to buy my first powerstroke:

First, I am look at to 2006 f250's. only differance is one is a lariat from a dealer with 81,000 miles. The other is from a one owner older guy, with 61k long box.
I looked at carfax on the first one, lariat, and I noticed the tranny got replaced, egr once, but a turbo replace at 61k and again ( different owner) and again at 71k.??? Not is it just because the driver, flash update, is there such a thing as a bad build, and problems for life? Do I stay away because it seems to have issues?

Now on the other side, the private party, he was the original buyer, said he just took it to ford for all checks, except for brakes and tires. He said the only thing that went bad was a kinck in the fuel line?

I like the first, cause its soooo clean, and leather seats. It's white, and I like the other truck in everyway, minus the leather seats. He has all the options of a lariat except the seats? So help me understand the above please if this makes sence. Thanks

Sounds like the Lariat was abused to me.

Thanks for saying something! Probably should go for the other, and his is an older guy and only 62k. Just blinded by the lariat package.
