Red flags? Ford Raptor

A friend of a friend is selling his 2018 Raptor with the following specs -

2018 Ford F150 SuperCrew Cab · Raptor 802A luxury package

128k miles

Just got a full 100k mile service with new cams, bearings, hoses, and new a/c unit installed.

Bottom line price: $35,000

20” upgrade bronze wheels K&N Air filter and intake ADD Stealth Fighter front bumper Moon roof Level kit Under seat storage box Upgraded sound system More upgrades not listed

I know cams and hoses were a big issue with the gen 2, is there anything else I should be wary of with it being 128k miles? Anyone have feedback for the powertrain reliability?

Putting 20s on a Raptor should be a crime!

Why 90% of them are just highway/ Starbucks queens.

Starbucks queens but you’re right it just hurts to see😂

When you mention “cams and bearings,” are you referring to issues with camshafts and internal engine components? Cam phasers are a common concern, but problems with the camshaft and other internal parts are rare. I’d definitely pass on this one.

Plus, it has some questionable mods and is overpriced given the mileage.

At least you know it’s never seen dirt

Cam phasers I think they revised them so they might be fine. 10 Speed trans could be hit or miss.
