I did notice the ML subwoofer rattles when playing songs with a lot of bae, but that seems to be a common problem that can fixed by gluing the speaker foam.

Congrats, these are great cars. I am leaning towards keep both my 2006 LS 430 and my moms 2006 GS 430(36K miles). Its just to nice and I spent a lot of time maintaining it for my mom to let someone else enjoy it for many years to come. Its going to spend time in my garage for many years. LOL...

Having a lot of fun with this engine. At some point I will need to stop driving it like a race car I'm getting 14 mpg average (almost entirely city driving).
