definitely a good thing.. car wasnt likely abused and was prob maintained well too. rust will come off with driving like someone said.

just use your own judgment, compare both cars interior, exterior, tires, engine ect.. you spend 1k more for newer model but add 9k miles to the engine.. compare to the 04, 1k less but -9k miles to the engine.. so both are good deal.

I'd see if the dealer will hook you up with a free 60K service

yeah seriously the brakes rust every time they get wet.... then the pads rub it off....... i really have no idea why the rotors dont wear out really fast with that happening all the time


OP, i would def. recommend the 05

He's correct ^^^^ we can't make this kinda choice for you. Look at both
cars in detail, pop the hood does the engine look tired and has it spent it's
life outside and not garaged. Do a Car fax check using the vin numbers to
check the history of both cars. I wouldn't use the nav if I had it because
I know where I'm going and the nav is generally 40% incorrect....
