Went to the dealer today to compare the 04's to the 05's. My wife and I concluded that the 05's weren't necessary worth it, i.e., a good enough deal would get us in an 04.

There were two 04's we were looking at, both were sedans and 6MT, black interior. One was Brillant Silver w/ Nav and Premium w/out full size spare. The other was Black w/ Premium w/ full size spare and Aero. I got them down to $31k on the silver and $30.5k on the black. I thinking the price on the silver is pretty good even though last month during the $1000 incentive period I already got an offer on a similar car w/o Nav for $30.

I'm really suprised the dealers aren't more motivated to sell these 04's.

Thanx!

 

$1000 is close to what the offer is (actually about $1800 and $1100 under invoice). The 05's have more horse power but the same peak torque which tells me unless I frequently redline the car I doubt I will see the increase in power. I would like to see some torque and power curves to confirm this. The 05 has the indash MP3 player, I nice option since I know have that in another car, and the intellegent key. A few sheet metal changes, new gauge cluster, and some other mods I'm forgetting. Anything else? For what I've listed, these aren't worth $5000 IMHO. I would still like to get them under $30k

Thanx again.

 

The ones in Alexandria are for 27600 are non premium package. Also, they only had one 6MT left and it had chrome wheels.

The came down a little more on the Brillant Silver with Nav so we got it. I very please overall.
