Not a whole lot. The 3.8L are fairly bulletproof. I've ran royal purple in mine since 60k and never once had an engine problem. I had a lower ball joint break on me, but I live in the country in Iowa and drive on country roads and mine had a salvage title so I'm sure they were worn anyways. Anyways enjoy the '04, you got a nice lookin one there.

As everybody else has said, not to much. I've had one for 8 years now and have beat the **** out of it with no problems to the motor and wouldn't have had a problem with the trans other then I followed some really crappy advise. Even if you take somewhat decent care of it (as admittedly I have from time to time), the car will last you a long time

Well thanks for replying guys, I'll check the oil, etc. It rides pretty smooth so I guess the suspension is okay...it's good to know these engines/cars can last awhile...I don't want to have to buy a new engine or trans anytime soon.
