‘16 CS with 77k. I’ve put 15k on it in 6 months since buying it CPO in November. It’s been in the shop 3x since for chronic issues with the S engine which should now be forever solved. It still needs the taillights (occasional error), muffler(baffles lose causes rattling when cold), and high pressure fuel pump(occasional CEL) replaced when I can get into service in time for service to experience them. Everything else has been flawless, drives like a brand new car.
My dealership service experiences have definitely left a lot to be desired. It’s a love hate relationship as the unlimited mileage CPO warranty is hard to beat for me. Long term, finding a good long term Indy makes life better.
I’ve been able to do all the basic maintenance myself with help from this community.
The paint is soft so you’ll need to keep up with chips and scratches. If I buy a lower mileage example in the future I would definitely PPF the front and mirrors.
Expect to only get 15-20k out of the 21” summer tires. The general consensus is that Conti‘s and Michelin‘s are the best.
You now own the best SUV reasonable money can buy. There is a maintenance and upkeep cost to that, but most have found it’s well worth it. Coming from numerous Japanese SUVs with virtually $0 repair costs I’d never willingly go back.
Last but not least, become a Rennlist + PCA member. Leaning into each community will make your ownership experience all the more easier and richer.

The coat hanger is in the flapper valve, lower passenger side of the firewall. needless to say, give it a flick when the engine is cool. Every month or two. Only works on the VR6. I think the other engines are too wide.
