Yes, the coach in question would have the 6.0L Powerstroke diesel that was introduced in 2003 (and built by Navistar/International). It has a checkered past, but most diesel experts/shops will usually explain that it is a good engine if its been cared for properly and the owner is prepared to deal with a few potential trouble spots. Key thing would be to find out its history and actually view maintenance records. The Powerstroke section on this site is fairly quiet, but I would recommend the Ford-trucks forum, 6.0 engine section for a wealth of information, and I believe the tech folder has a 'sticky' on what to consider when buying a used unit.
To date, I've really enjoyed my own 6.0 powered C Class which has been trouble-free..
