I had a 2006 4.8is, daily driver.

It's going to cost you $$$$. The air suspension leaks, the CV joints need attention often, the steering pump lines are a known issue, the interior trim peels easily, the tranny is weak, the brake pads go quickly, sun roof has a mind of its own.

My wife has a new E70, I do like the old one better, felt 500lbs lighter. That being said, I'd never buy one again just because they are $$$.

Oh, and I had recurrent CEL light....leading to major repairs.
