May be picking up an 08 V8V roadster with 20k miles. It's a sportshift and I know I have to deal with its quirks but are there other potential warnings experienced AM owners can share with me? It's my first AM.

Thanks

I have an 07 with the sportshift. It's a llittle quirky but you get used to it. Mine is a daily driver so I like the automatic. Good luck
