98 with a 5.2. 125,000 and some change. I think I got a good deal. I bought it with 82,000miles. It burned oil bad and had a hard time shifting so they let it go real cheap. Tune up, plenum gasket and a trans filter change runs great.

Close to160k. Mine has taken out two Fords and given me reasons for fiberglass fenders making room for 35s. Don't cry over price of 31s. Balljointsx2, radiatorx3 one Ford one moron at carwash one at work. Rear springs upgrade due to Focus enima took hitch to windshield. Minor stuff waiting for transmission to fail, bronze on pan magnet since 50k
Mine is about to hit the 106,000 mark. Got it in august of 08 with about 63,000. So ive just added 43,000 in almost 4 years. No major repairs...just o2 sensors, balljoints, exhaust, wheel bearings, and a few other small things.
My family has a 2000 4.7 4WD with 111,307 miles on it. We are the original owners. The only things that have been replaced are the power steering switch and the electric fan, in addition to tires and brakes. I didn't really start paying too much attention to the car until 2008 when I got my license and starting driving it, but I am positive there were no major repairs from 2000-2008. It has been in two pretty costly accidents, one of which damaged the radiator which had to be replaced along with repairs to the front end. And the second one just a couple of months ago when a truck backed into it and the rear driver's side door and third row window had to be replaced. Other than that, its been bulletproof. The only thing that isn't great about it are the expensive tires and the gas mileage but we knew it would be expensive when we bought it.
