Just to add to Randall's post and to give you some perspective, thus far on my '01 2.7 bought w/33K miles, off the top of my head, I have replaced:
-Both lower control arms. (didn't fix the clunk, probably have to replace the rear track arms)
-Coolant reservoir
-Cabin air recirculator
-Alternator
-Ignition switch
The only thing my PPI showed was it needed a new rear wheel bearing, brakes in a few thousand miles, an alignment and the left side of the front bumper had been resprayed. All the above went in the first year of my ownership. Luckily, I bought an aftermarket warranty that picked up the first four issues or those would have been $$$$. I replaced the switch myself.
