I bought this car used on March 29 2008, and have had no problems with it whatsoever. Well, there had always been a small rubber rubbing noise, and I just figured it was the bushings, well in May 08, The spring seat assy. came completely apart on the passengers side, and turns out was going to go on the drivers side. Both spring seats, both struts, and both bushings had to be replaced. I have an extended warranty, and it covered all but the plates, which is about 230 dollars. I could have ended up paying almost 700 by the time labor was included.
