The ASR ( A$$ Reamer) problem was the biggest ***** along with the degradable wiring harness. Mostly the research and trying to cure each probable cause. However, in the end I successfully repaired all those issues and love this amazing car. I know they are extremely complicated expensive beasts, but 250 miles in the 80 degree Columbia River gorge area on Sunday made it all worth while. I really like all the 129's, but I knew if I didn't buy a 600, I'd always have V12 envy. To me the expenses are well worth it.
