How is this deal on new '05?
Found a brand new '05 - black (regular not obsidian), pretty stripped - 6 disk changer and navi only. Dealer is willing to go to 77,500 (plus state tax and title). How does that sound?

MSRP is $84,860. Your resale point is well-taken since I'll probably only keep it 2-3 years. On the other hand, the car is pretty loaded with standard equipment.
I'm also looking at an 04, 18,000 miles, Pana, Navi, Lights Keyless, 6 disk for $66K. While I would prefer the Bi-Xenons, I dont care about Pana or Keyless and a spread of $11,500 between the 04 and new 05 seems pretty reasonable.
I'm going to pull the trigger soon (hopefully) so all opinions welcome.
Thanks

If you have to think about getting an option, you probably don't need it.

Why buy a "one year old" model car? That car is already depreciated 12% without it leaving the showroom. It is also stripped, although I understand your disike of some of the options. I can almost guarantee you can order an 06 with just the options you want and still get $5k off sticker. If you are serious about pursuing this angle, I would be happy to call the GSM of dealer in Boston area, who would be happy to deal
