mine has 123,000 when i bought it. 5.0 are tough engines and so miles don't scare me, watch for trannys if buyin an automatic, they are expensive to rebuild. thats my experience so far. Runs perfect and no smoke or oil burnin. tranny was slippin so i rebuilt it but at price I paid , i came out good.

When I drove my 330,000+ miles mostly stock fox back from Boston (1100 or so miles) I averaged 24 over the course of the trip. I have a vert which (I am guessing here) get worse mileage, and I was doing 85-90 the majority of the way.
