NAV, Rear Side Airbags, Titanium Interior Trim

Go give it a test drive.

Friday...

I'm thinking that I should just purchase (as planned) the 4.8 exhaust and Dinan Strut Bar and put my wallet away for a while and just drive my X. I just hit 40K and it bothers me to be out of factory warranty (2/07) even though it's CPO'd

what are the "goodies" added on the 05' 4.8is when compared to the 4.6is?? and thanks for all the input, i'm going to test drive the 4.8 this weekend. the 4.6is was quite peppy, very impressive. i couldn't imagine the dinan s3 with 451hp

Dealer is asking $44K CPO'd. Still in Factory Warranty until 8/1/07

Its warranty will be up around the same time yours will be too right? both 03s

My Factory Warranty was up last month but I'm CPO'd

Both 03's...

I dont want to tell which is the better decision. Its your choice. You have a lot of mods on your 4.4. the 4.6 is a real eye catcher.
