What options to look for/watch out for?

I'm considering buying a used Lincoln LS v8. I've done some research and figured an '03-'06 car would be my target vehicle. I do a lot of driving, and most of my own mechanical work, so I'm not really afraid of a car with 50k+ miles on it. My current ride, an '01 SES duratec Taurus has been very reliable, but I'll probably give it to one of my kids in another year or so and want to get something rear wheel drive. I think a used LS is the best deal on the used car market today for a sporty ride and rear wheel drive. My question is, if you were looking for a good used v8 LS, what options would you want, and what would you not want. Also, where are the mechanical trouble spots on this car?

Thanks!
 
One thing I've learned here on the LS is the hydraulic cooling fan can have issues.
