How to tell if the engine has been bullet proofed?
I want a 2003 Ford Excusion with the PowerStroke diesel. I read that when they are in the range of 150,000-200,000 miles, that they break and require about $10,000-$12,000 in engine repairs. How can I tell just by looking at a picture? I'm currently looking online.
Added (1). I live in the North and I wanted to buy one in Florida.
Added (2). So the 7.3L is the best? What's the actual city fuel economy.
