Default F250 6.0

Looking for some opinions or answers.... Ok well my dad is looking at buying a 04 lariat F250 6.0 130,000 miles guy is asking 12K for it, We are new to the 6.0s but have 3 7.3s

1. Is the 6.0 really that bad of an engine? Ive herd some bad things about them What are some pros and cons?

2. Is the price high or a good deal?

Any help is appreciated

How many miles and the 6.0 is a great motor once u work all the bugs out of It that's why it's good to get them with some miles on it

I thought I read Ford recently had some class action lawsuit settlement with the 6.0. Really too bad about these trucks and that's why they're so cheap in the used market. I've seen some damn nice 06 models but I'm scared to take the plunge.
