I've found a '01 GT with 71K mi I'm interested in. Is that a lot for that engine or is there a magic number as far as miles go on the 99-04 4.6L's go?

They run for 150k easy so 71k is nothing. Mine had 90k exactly on the clock when i bought it...117k now and runs fine. Its all in how it was treated.

Not bad, how much do they want for it?

ive got 142K on mine right now. daily driver/weekend warrior. i drive the **** out of it when i get a chance. runs great and doesnt burn oil or anything. just make sure you do your maintenance and you'll be fine.

Well since everyone is talking about mileage on there car, I just hit 15,400miles in my car lol.

pshtt, 100k is nothin on these motors!! crown vics and taxis in ny all have the 4.6 and when they retire they have close to 300-500k on the odo. I feel like i say this everday. Someone please make a sticky about how these motors dont just die at 100k.. thanks.

71K miles on an engine that has been maintained according to the manual is nothing to worry about.

BUT, there's a lot more to the car than a motor. A manual trans will last a long time, but a clutch won't. Automatics that have not been maintained generally don't last long. And then there's the shocks, tires, batteries, etc.

When you look at the car and the price, keep those items in mind.
