My cousin had one and my buddy has one now. The cousins was CRAP and was in the shop all the time. Had probably 7k worth of problems...only about 60,000 miles and automatic. My buddys manual LS has around 120,000 maybe and it is fine. Only problem he has had is the brakes. How much you pay for it?

They tend to be pretty unreliable as a whole.

Good luck with it man.

Wouldn't it have been wiser to get feedback prior to making the purchase???

One of my co-workers had one and he never complained of any problems. Good Luck!

burn it?

they look like alright cars. ANY luxury car is going to have tons of issues as it gets older. get rid of it before 100k miles imo
