all the reviews and information i've seen, including chrysler's (sometimes incorrect) website, state that the 2005 has a telescopic steering adjustment. someone on this site several months ago suggested that tilt steering had been added for 2005. if so, that is the only "significant" change between the model years. the 2004 is a better buy than the 2005 right now, especially if you plan on keeping the car for a long time. keep in mind that more than 25K 2004 crossfires were produced. their vin #s are sequential so you can buy one that was built later in the year. if there was a stop in the assembly line before producing the 05s, it was probably only long enough to drink a warm draught. roughly 12K crossfires (including 05 roadsters) have been sold so far in the u.s., so some dealers will have 04s in inventory for quite some time (no doubt some will still be for sale in 05). fall will probably shape up to be a good time to buy your crossfire because it is quite possible that rebates and discounts will increase. unfortunately, crossfire sales fell somewhat in june perhaps corresponding to the reduction in the previous rebate ($2.5K).
