fuel filter, you will need new rubber aroud there, as well as breaks depending on how you drive, plugs and wires i would do as well, GET THE TRANNY AND DIFF FLUSHED ALONG WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM

You bought it with 18K? Could have been a rental.
Just go to the ford scheduled maintenance website. I don't have a link, but I have seen people post it before.

lol...that's not stock? I thought the dual tail pipes (not true dual exhaust) was an option for a stock V6...as far as I know, the previous owner was a realtor...so yeah he has to drive quite a lot...yall don't know how much you drive here in south florida...distances are disgusting and the traffic is nasty. Not to mention the heat in summer time...poor ponys...
