service history!!
Car is pretty much bullet proof ALTHOUGH if you get the tip tronic, the gearbox oil need changing every 10,000 miles no particular hardship, but must use the right oil. if the torque converter is juddering its usually cos the wrong oil has been used. The gearboxes are pretty much indestructible. Only other things are centre diffs thru neglect by not changing the oil on service intervals (£100 for a good second hand one and 2 hrs to fit! Piss easy job) and the active rear diff again thru not servicing.
Basically service it properly and they live for ever OH and do 180 mph!! (well if you turn the boost up a touch they do)
