I am going to be buying my brothers 2005 f 150 with about 80,000 miles and the truck is mint.I will be getting it for a good price but the spark plug ordeal makes me wonder if I should even purchase it. Do you think it is still ok to buy even though I need to change pluds, and also I have been hearing about bad injectors. What is your opinion.

No problems with the injectors. The plugs should be good to 100K. When replacing them, take it to a shop that has a special extractor for them. They had problems with them breaking off. That is when the problems begin. Most people don't want to spend the hundred bucks for the tool needed.
