Leaning Towards 05's...Help
 

Hey, New to these forms. But iv been lookin around and reading information about all the models...well as much as i could. But my questions havent really been answered maybe you guys can help.
1. Iv been leaning towards the 05's because iv read and heard about the recalls and problems that some peeps have had with the 03 and 04 models, and not the 06 beause i would like to get the touring trim, and cant aford that with the 06's and i dont want a base. So...my real question is...is there really any worries that i have to deal with if i were to get either an 03 or 04???

An other information about Problems or realitive to this to help me make a choice between years and models, i would be very very thank full .
Thx All.

I have had problems with my 03 Touring, but it's not all of them. I am on my 3rd transmisson right now. Still under warranty so not that big a deal. Don't get me wrong, I love the car, but If I were you, I would go for the 05. It has less reported problems and is newer/less miles. Minor fixes and TSBs are inevitable on any car. It's the major stuff that will cost big $ when your warranty is up.
My advice would be to look for a left over 05 35th Anniversary. I looked at one and they were going to give it to me for 7K off MSRP of about 39k. It only had 25 miles. The reason I say 35th Anniversary is becuase it has the 300 HP rev up on the manual car, Brembos, Leather, etc., but is not heavier like the 06 cars. Dealers will be looking to rid themselves of these cars.

I recommend that you set a budget. Shop by mileage not model year.

i would agree with you to a point as long its a 04.5 or higher. warranty being the main issue with 03's having many numerous problems that need to be fixed, I would hate to pay for issues that should have been taken care of under warranty.

buy an 05 track, touring, or grand touring. you get the rev-up engine w/o all the weight of the 06's.
