I wouldn't recommend it after the 3 years of constant repairs I went through on my 4.4i. I owned it from 2005-2008 (24k-75k) and it was the most expensive car to keep going I've ever had. Of course, it behaved fairly well up until the warranty went off at 50k, then over 5 grand in unscheduled repairs over the next two years and 25k miles.

For the same money you can get a loaded to the gills late model Denali or Suburban, and not have to worry about anything other than oil changes and fuel.
