[QUOTE="PoManNox, post: 31673, member: 8300"] Provided it was maintained well, I would think ~86K miles is young for an LFX 3.6 engine. The engine would probably be the least of my concerns. Obviously with mechanical stuff, anything can happen, but I don't believe I've ever heard of a 3.6's needing bottom end or ring work. Stuck oil control rings due to GDI yes, Full timing chain, guide, tensioner replacements, definitely. Has the transmission been drained/filled? AWD system? Hows the HVAC? Has it seen rust belt life? That would be a major concern on a ~13yr/old vehicle. [/QUOTE]
