One more item worth confirming. I presume they did replace the phasers by now in that 2018. --> Check to see if the part number is one of the two listed in the TSB.

You probably want to jump on this quick if you decide... what are you thinking? Did the dealer provide you with the service history?
He told me he talked to the senior service advisor it's against Ford policy to give an Oasis report to a customer unless they own the vehicle. There' some sort of privacy according to another dealer I talked to?

Ever vehicle I've looked at, whether it's been on the lot for 60 days or 10 sells just as we're ready to make a deal. Maybe it's the man upstairs letting us know it wasn't the right one.

Hmm. I'm not sure whether or not that is true. Even for my truck the first person I asked said no they can not print it out, and the second service writer said no problem and gave it to me.

But, they should still be able to pull up the details in Oasis and tell you whether or not the phasers were ever changed at a dealer, or print off the parts list used for that work.

Yeah some dealers get their panties all in bunches over privacy crap.
They can print it just not show the previous owners name.

Well, they made the decision for me and when we went to look at it, the salesman went over to get it but came back empty saying it smelled like an ash tray and had a check engine light on now. When we looked at it there was a hole in the bed behind the drivers side wheel well but was locked up. What's worse is he sent a video saying there was no evidence of smoke. So this week we're at Car Sales 2, Us - 0. lol

Sorry to hear but it might have been for the best. I wouldn't score it the way you did as you might be ahead of the dealers and the other poor suckers that didn't do their homework. You are more knowledgable now about what to look for so count it as a win.
