What do I need to know before purchasing an 01' ls v6?

[IRwade]

I'm going to look at and possibly test drive an 01' ls v6 soon. Are there any common problems with the v6 that I should look for or any major red flags I should be weary of before possibly purchasing?

Scan the forums. Lots to look out for.

if I was thinking about buying an 01 LS, the only thing I would be looking out for would be an 03.
