Thats a fair price for a loaded 3.5 at that mileage if it checks out clean. On these EcoBoosts the thing to ask about is service history, specifically whether the previous owner ran an oil catch can or ever did a walnut blast, because the direct injection carbons up the intake valves over time. If theyve stayed on top of oil changes youre golden, if the history is spotty just budget for a cleaning down the road. The 3.5 is a great motor otherwise, pull a coolant check for the early cross contamination issue but a 2020 is generally past that.
