It does NOT say new cam phasers. It says new cam phaser lockouts. If I'm not mistaken that gives you a check engine light and it means it was not fixed right using OEM cam phasers. I think you can find a better deal. Personally I stay the hell away from dealers.
The service records are also lacking for many years of this vehicle.

Lockouts to me means its only worth scrap value. Drive it off a cliff and collect the insurance. Buy a '97-03 F150 4.6/5.4 if you want something cost effective and reliable that doesn't have VVT.
