Help Me Decide

[mpl]

I had a similar decision to make earlier this week so I am well versed in the current pricing/discounts(in Ma. anyways).

39,900 for the 05 is a good price. $5500 in discounts for an 07 is a stellar price!

I opted for a leftover 06 that had all the options I wanted except 18" wheels and did not receive the % discount that you will get on the 07.

Although my 05 had very low miles and was well cared for I liked the idea of buying new and breaking the car in myself. The difference in price was $4k. For me it was money well spent.

I think the 05 with that option package is a much better deal, especially considering the low mileage. I took mine to 21K in a little over a year, with no issues, nor have I read of any issues specific to that model year. I'd be curious what dbth is referring to.

From what I can deduce from your posts it also sounds like the effective warranty is better on the 05 in that you'll be covered for more miles. But I'm someone who drives quite a bit, and generally hits the mileage cap before the years.

IMO the custom-specced Box only makes sense if you're looking for:

A. Alot of options, particularly uncommon ones or options that are difficult
to add-on later
B. Unusual color combinations and/or colored bits
C. Looking to pick/choose from Preferred Package and PPP.

None of which you’re doing. Specific to your proposed setup, my experience was that the black top wears better than the metropol and arguably looks better with your grey/black. I also think it would be a mistake to not get the wind deflector, if you plan on ever lowering the top.

Or if you want one that's extremely lightly optioned..

Order the car the way you really want it. No compromises. Buyers remorse is an awful experience for such a special and $$$ car.
