Hey guys I am looking to buy a high mileage SXT with 140,000 miles. What are some of the things I should look for when looking at the vehicle?

Transmission solenoids and transmissions themselves are notorious for random failures too.

An 09 would have the 3.3L still not the 3.6L. Different engine, I have found the 3.3L more durable than the new 3.6L. As time progresses the 3.6L is starting to show tons of cylinder head valve sealing issues, damaged camshafts and even broken cam followers.
