Correct! It went at about 80k.
Everything is original and it perfect working order other than new michelin tires, e3 plugs, and K&N air filter. Oh wait, sorry, the two little lights that light up my two front window switches are out. LOL Hardly noticeable.
I wish I could figure out why it has a rough idle sometimes, but once I get going it's perfect. I think it may need a SeaFoam treatment. Cleaned the MAF and TB to no avail.

just hit 88 thousand km on 07 gxp. so far trans is still good. But ive also had a trans cooler on it since day 1. i did research on these cars before i bought it and trans was a weak spot. it was the best preventative maintenance i could without killing the warranty.

OK IT'S STILL IDLING ROUGH. WHAT THE ****!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I already have a phobia of letting a car idle and this is making me crazy. Runs fine while driving but idles rough MOST of the time, sometimes its ok.
What could it be?!?! I tried plugs, air filter, seafoam, cleaning the maf and throttle body, checked vacuum lines pretty well but it was dark. I am stumped and getting so pissed!

I ran seafoam in the gas.
I forgot that I haven't checked the wires for arcing. That's my next guess. It's getting a little worse every day. It definitely feels like a misfire now. Hmm.
Stay with me guys for updates, I can use all the help I can get since I am new to a newer car. LOL I had a 98 WS6 for a couple years and a 97 Camaro before that and they were easy to figure **** out!

I just rolled over 82k. I notice a rough idle too! When was the last time you changed your oil. When my car is getting close to a well needed oil change it starts to do the rough idling.

I just put a bunch of oil in it a couple weeks ago when the car damn near ran out and told me to add some. This was before I knew these drink oil like I drink Mt Dew.

I have had a rough idle since new (well, close enough, started noticing it at maybe 8K miles when I rotated the engine mount, transmits a lot more vibration), sitting at about 10 times that much mileage now, has not gotten better nor worse.

I sprayed carb cleaner on the MAF sensors (those are the little wire things inside the rubber tubing right? And I carb-cleanered the TB.
I will check for arcing in a little bit. This idle cannot be normal LOL.
Also, still has original 100k 02 sensors. No thrown codes though...
