I got a 2007 back in Jan. for 24,500 that also was with military rebates and some haggling. So I dont see why you couldnt get one for 24 even come to think of it I think there was a guy on this forum who picked his up for 23,800.

 

I think you will pay more per month for the used 05 as you may have to pay the loan back in 3-4 yrs while the 07 you can pay back in 5-6 yrs

If money per month is more important than the total debt, get the 07 so you can put the first 20K miles on it instead of wondering how the used on got its 20k.

 

+1 to the car being under warranty. If theres a problem; the dealer will fix it. I say save the 6 grand and be happy. It's the exact same f'in car! my two cents. Find a better deal. I bought mine 6 months ago. had 11k in miles. 18k plus tax and license. Private party.... My 02 GT was nice too. Still drive the 71 302 sometimes too!
