Got to agree on the imola red! I was lucky to find my 2004 4.8is and have no regrets, either. Love the power of the V8!

I just purchased a 4.6is, 83k miles on the clock.

Changed spark plugs, ignition coils.. brake,transmission & engine oils (a big service basically)
Getting new brake discs and pads next week... the dealer I bought it from will be buying me a a new steering spindle and hydro box as he did tell me those needed changing. I could feel it when I test drove. Car had been sitting for a while. I also have the 'lurch' issue only when in automatic mode. This could be a simple transmission software update.

'Trans Failsafe mode' popped up on my dash last week.. my mechanic told me he might have done something and thankfully purchased a ABS/Speed sensor as he believes he might have 'struck' something when detailing the underpart of the car. Car is fine now..

It's been nothing but fun and games the past month since I've had it... love the power. I am definitely going for traditional coils and springs over the air suspension though when i get the $$$ ..
