Uh... just buy it now. Why wait?

Next year's model will be newer, improved, and cost more. Something will always be better on next year's model.

It's all just sales hype.

Heck the 2005 isn't even out more than a half a year yet to worry about 2006 Zs. Unless it is a major improvement just stick with a 2005.

I think this year was the major change, w/ the 300 hp engine and the 35th Anniversary edition. I wouldn't look for too much to happen next year.

pay, if you are even questioning an expensive purchase like a car than you should just wait. because obviously you have left outs for yourself, meaning you probably already have a daily commuting car. Therefore just wait and see. They should annouce some changes for 06 within the next 6 months or so. At that time if you feel the 06 doesn't make that much of a difference than just buy the 05 at great price.

Down payments are a waist, if you're not putting down at least 5 grand it wil not effect your payment much. For every 1000.00 dollars you put down on a car, your payment will only decrease around 20.00 dollars. Then money you are planning to use as a down payment, use it to add mods to your car and go get the 05. YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

No one has a clue as to 06 changes.

My guess is, since the car/design is still new & selling well, there will be no major changes.

Default A little financial advice...

If you can't afford to put at least 20% down, you shouldn't buy it.

Otherwise plan on being upside down on your loan the moment you drive it off the lot.

Dude,

Buy it now if you can afford it. I used to think like you (hehe). You cannot wait forever. The train will pass you by.


Edit: The Z will pass you by

Like I said, I'd seriously consider waiting... 06 sounds like a good year for a few small changes.
