This morning I put a deposit down on an '04 4.8is. I have driven an '04 3.0 for the past 7 years and ~98K miles. I started out with it out of pure necessity with the arrival of a new baby. Now, I love the thing. The only thing I wish it had was more power- and maybe a few less miles. Oh, and if only it were LeMans Blue.
Syoo.. I will post more later, but this is what I put a deposit on this AM. Please feel free to offer advice on what to expect out of the 4.8 in care and maintenance. The 3.0 has been rock solid.
