That sounds the same as mine. Take it on a long slow, traffic jammed drive and see where the temps sit.
Make sure the fan comes on around 100 degrees and the oil temp stays below about 110. Also, question the owner regarding oil consumption. These engines have been known to consume a lot of oil. Roush states that they consider a quart every 500-700 miles as acceptable. You may or may not agree.
