Possible new Ford 7.3 owner

Hello all,

I am looking at a 12 passenger van tonight for my large family. My wife and I are expecting our 5th child this Winter and we needed to upgrade so we are looking at a 1999 E350 7.3 Turbo Diesel tonight. It is a (1) owner which I like, but it has 196,000 miles on it which kind of concerns me. Hopefully, if all goes well I will own it by tonight.

Anything to look for or ask when dealing with an individual and not a dealer with this type of vehicle? Just want to make sure I don't mess this up and get in over my head. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks guys!
