Nice choice. I really like the red leather interior. The deal is not that great. I'm not a fan of the rims but hey its a place to start.

I'm alittle opposite. I don't like the red leather interior much, but the door panels are ok. It reminds me too much of the classic's full monochromatic interiors which were not attractive in my opinion. I'd either have to learn to like it, or find someone's stock black seats

The wheels are ok

I was watching another 05 but it sold for 16,900. I like this one just as much..

To each his own. I'd love to get brighter blue seats on my 2010 order but I'm happy with the Blue stitching and stripes. For me, interiors are very important to me. If you are on the fence on the red I'd keep looking. This car is not that special.

I don't need a car that is "special", nor am I financially sound to have one. This will be my first nice car, which perhaps to everyone else isn't very nice, but I consider it pushing what I consider justifiable in spending.

I'm 22, been wanting a nice car for 7 years now...

No disrespect intended (if you read any). Buying a car is very tough for me since it is a huge financial commitment. Many times I've been caught up in the moment of worrying if this was the last car I would find that I liked. Reality has been I've seen other cars come up later just to remind me that very few cars are really "unique". You've done the hard work saving so enjoy the car you choose. Congrats and may you find the right car soon.

Ya know I haven't checked. Wife checked it out and gave me the green light so I just ran with it.

Even $16K for an '05 is a bit high. Play your cards right and you should be able to get it for no more than $15k; $14k-$14.5k if you're skilled.
