common guys need sugesstions

 

personally for roughly only a grand difference in price I would go for the 06. It's three years younger, that's three winters where the car's plastics weren't freezing (east coast right?), and it wasn't getting salt on the road. It's also more recent so some of the equipment and electronics is probably better than the components used in the car three years older. All in all there are many reasons to pick the newer car, especially if the difference is only one grand.

Good luck and happy driving!

 

thanks for the rply keep um comin

 

Initially I thought one is 05 and other is 06. Both looked okay to me then and hence I did not reply. Since this is between 06 and 03.. 06 all the way

Newer the better and all the flaws from the previous versions will be corrected in the newer versions

 

You're getting the '06 for a bit more than $1k more... why not just go for that?

 

what i dont seem to understand is that when i check kbb on these. according to kbb they are overpriced . but evrey private seller or dealer is selling these coupes for way more some even in the 20 thousand range ... but kbb does not coordinate with these prices .
maybe its a supply and demand issue . can somebody help me understand this

 

My experience is that KBB is largely ignored, you can't get KBB when you sell your car to a dealer and you always have to pay more when you're on the buying side. In the end, you can only negociate and use KBB as a ball park estimate. If a car is way off KBB then you know something is wrong, otherwise it's just a guideline.

 

get a mechanic to check out the 06. i would definitely go for the 06 due to the upgraded interior, exterior styling as well as fixing many of the 03 (first year G's) problems. even tho the mileage is similar, the 06 probably has freeway miles while the other either wasn't driven much or has just city miles.. either way they are both good cars, but since the price margin is so slim, definitely go with the 06 unless something is wrong w/ it

 

def get the 06 warranty for 5k more miles in case things bother you!

..or go back in time and get the 04 + garmin < 14k =)

 

I totally agree with that. Most aftermarket GPS are way better and cost a ton less (but not as clean looking as the factory nav).DOMO

I would go for the 06 for several reasons the first being the extra 40hp and rev-up engine. Also you have less body wear even though the mileage is similar. For the price difference I would go for the 06. The only issue is you want to make sure it doesn't have the oil consumption problem before you buy it (it is not likely but you still want to check). I have an 03.5 sedan and love it but would really like the extra horsepower and rev-up engine in the newer G's.

Hope this helps!

 

aftermarket DD kits are better than the OEM nav.. I guess you didn't do your research on those :P I think they look cleaner than the OEM, althoug it is in a little bit harder location to see while driving, they have way more functionality

 

The only thing that sucks with putting a DD (or single din) into the 03-04 is the friggin dash kit cost like $200+...BOOOOOO

Not sure if it is the same on the 05-06's but it is a pain in the a$$. Anyone know why they made it so difficult to put aftermarket stereo's and such in the G??

 

3 year difference and the price is 1100 difference? You dont know the answer to that?

 

those are high mileage cars there
