I'm asking because I'm in the market for an S, no particular year, but probably prefer '03 - '04, or maybe '05.
The failure rate for the 06-08 is extremely low. On the LN site the question was posed and was basically answered with a “don”t worry about it”. Overall the general numbers for FAILURE are low as well. But, something to consider for sure.
