Not an answer sorry, but dude isn't the GXP just damm awesome?! I just got a red 2008 myself. 1500 down including taxes and fees and plates. Will end up paying in total around 7k. Insurance is more than I'd like, but that's because I'm young. I've heard these cars wreck the transmission, don't know if just bad from factory or people get on em too hard and think a transmission is gonna hold up after serious abuse. I try to not do a lot of sudden acceleration. Also damm, I was also thinking of getting an aftermarket screen radio with nav, but now that you mention the steering controls I really like using them. Might just get a factory radio with an aux input, ive seen them on ebay(plus the reason my radio buttons work wonky). I thought I'd get a silver one to match the black and silver accents that you can see in the car. Hope you get your stuff fixed, I'm having same noise due to worked out suspension, feels rougher than I thought it would ,but could be because it's wrecked since it makes a squeaky noise when I go over bumps. Luckily the dealer agreed to fix that, plus the non working rear left window. My car really needs a good polish and some wheels. Dude who owned it before me gave it some nasty curb rash. Mine has 144k+ on the odom. btw.
