    input on this 03-E53 4.6is

    I would love to get your input on this 03-E53 4.6is that I'm 90% sure I'm going to purchase tomorrow morning...it's right under 70k miles for $17,500. Clean car fax & autocheck, the current owner is the 3rd, has had it only 6k miles...he says only a brake light comes on and that only the pads need to be changed out. It's amazingly clean but from reading your posts and what's online I'm a bit worried there maybe some underlying issues I cannot see. Im not sure he will allow me to do a PPI on his e53 but I'm going try regardless...What can you suggest I can do to put me at better ease? All your info is greatly appreciated!

    Your not sure the seller will allow a PPI? Then walk away, its a simple/necessary precaution when purchasing a vehicle.

    Those V8's can be a headache if not maintained well
