even though its a new car, i would have to say no. just go for a 06, your really not saving that much money to justify it.

Why would anyone buy a used 2005 from a dealer and pay all that sales tax, when you can find one from a private seller. You know EXACTLY whose owned it. You get to talk directly with the current owner about the car itself and you save ALL that tax!!!!!

He is right buy used cars from private owners, new cars from the dealer.

I just bought a new, 2005 Redline Touring Roadster, 4 weeks ago. Dealer's starting offer was $34,500, I ended up buying for 33,500, plus tax, tags, title. Had 49 miles on it when I took it for the first test drive.

So - to me, if you like the Yellow, $34k is not a bad price. Don't know what else the "Anniversary Edition" has that mine doesn't.

Finding a new, last year's model I think is a screaming deal as compared to buying an '06. Insurance costs are a bit less, car tax (a type of property tax) here in Virginia is a bit less, and of course the car itself is around $6k cheaper than an '06. To me that's a good deal all around - you get a new car but the dealer has already taken the hit on the first year's depreciation.

$31,887 + tax, tag, and title for a new '05 SuperBlack Touring ZR 6 speed, had 156 miles. Purchased early May.

BTW - Nissan takes the depreciation in the form of dealer cash, not the dealer.

Diamond Flyer, well done, you got a good deal!

Mine has AT, 18" tires, plus cargo net, mats, kick plates, splash guards. I'm loving it.

I see you're also in Virginia. Where did you buy yours? Mine is from Mike Pallone in Springfield.

You're right about it being Nissan corporate and not the dealer itself that takes that depreciation hit. Either way, who cares, it was someone other han me is all I care about.

I'd open up a few more cases and see if he sweetens the deal. No deal!

A dealer in Atlanta recently had a leftover 2005 ZR touring listed in the paper for $31,500. It is not there any longer so someone must have snapped it up.

Wow! I shoulda waited another couple of weeks!

But then probably would have missed it.

Sometimes I've been smart; sometimes I've been lucky; the best of times were when I was smart enough to know I was lucky!

You can get a 06 Touring with NAv for 33,500. Tell the dealer to go **** on himself with the yellow one.
