For the price of an 05, you may find an 06. For the price of an 06, you may be lucky and find a decent 07. For the price of anything, you may say ¨To hell with it, I´m going to be in debt to the bank, so I might as well buy what I like!¨

Don´t limit yourself to merely 2005

baddog671 is right, if you like the 2005 style, then don't limit yourself to just a 2005. You can choose from 2005-2009.

As far as leaks, I haven't any issues BUT I never drive my car in the rain either.

Because im looking at an '05 gt tomorrow, and i thought insurance would be cheaper than an '06? but then i really didnt ask my insurance company about different years, because i thought it was cheaper the older it was(like i said above).

Sorry if im hi jacking or anything, i was just wondering.

ihave had absolutley NO problems with my 05. no water leak, no spark plug. i dont think you should worry, chances are that it would have probably already had the problem and fixed, if it even had the problem to begin with.

I used to have a 98 auto v6 with 150,000 miles. I got a qoute from my insurance company for a 04 stick GT with 75,000 miles and it was 50$ cheaper a year than the v6...

Sounds like a fair deal. I just paid 18.5 for an 06 gt permium with 37k. real clean.
