I don't. If you take your car to a dealer, it is going to be expensive though.

Common LS repairs:

Valve cover replacement and coil replacements
Ball Joints
Transmission repairs
Fuel Pumps and REM replacement
Climate Control Module replacement
Cooling Fan pump and hydraulic system (Tbird might be electric and not have this funkly system) ?

All very expensive repairs. We broke even on the warranty for our Oldsmobile Intrigue. It was in the dealer several times. I just didn't want to work on that FWD car, so it was worth it to me to have the warranty that also gave my wife a loaner car.

Search the LS forums for $$$ amounts on these repairs. Most LS owners drive their cars over the average mileage amount so you get to see what happens to those cars first.
