Only thing you realy find on line, is tranny issues. And frankly, you look up ANY modern car on line with a newer 4speed OD auto in them, you will always see them called a POS becouse of tranny issues. SO I always take that with a grain of salt.
Still I would look for the 2006 SEL type... Just more for your money and they have the nice wheels.. Also if you keep the trans fluid flushed and clean you should be ok.. I got the one my ex drives in 2007 for 14,000 bucks with only 18,000 miles. I am sure you can do better now.. Only issue was the spark knock. Dealer updated the timing by computer.. Under warranty so it was free..
