A 2005 with the 5.4 will have the 3 valve engine. Take it to a mechanic that knows them and have him listen to it. If he doesn't hear any cam phaser issues buy it and change the oil every 3000 miles no matter what kind of oil you are using and it will run 200K easy and may up to 300k. Trying to go 5000 miles (or more) between oil changes kills the cam phasers in these trucks - they are hydraulicly driven using the motor oil and it if it dirty the phasers will fail. If the plugs have been replaced there won't be an issue with broken plugs - the 2 piece plugs were replaced years ago with a more tradition single piece plug. But with only 80K miles on it there is a good chance it still has the originals.
The 5.4 3 valve engine never had an issue blowing out the plug.
I agree with the post below - agree to buy the truck after they tune it with new plugs.
