Re: I think i agree, ..for once I'd disagree.
1st, From SeaNile's own post, he already preferes the 05 (read his last sentence), so he'd probably keep kicking himself later.
2nd. Since he wants to drive it topless even in cool weather with the heated seats, the glass rear window won't need "chopping" and also, there wouldn't be the worry about the rear window cracking or stitching coming loose. (I enjoy driving mine topless in cool weather, down to the freezing mark, too.)
3rd Everyone mentions $10K price difference. My math says there's only $8,800 difference and you never know how much closer you can get with a bit of bargaining.
4th The 05 is 16K miles further away from the first major service.
5th Hard to say what the conditions of the tires is between the two. This could also be part of the cost factor
Tha's my reasoning, as long as the cars are pretty equal in how they've been cared for and maintained.
I'd want a PPI done before making a final decision.
Just my $0.02 worth. B)
