It was a leftover '04, that's why I had to drive to Ohio to get it. I haven't checked the build date yet but I think the dealership got it right before the '05s and just sat it on the showroom floor. They still have one more left, its an '04 Alabaster/Auto. My mom fell in love with it and is trying to talk my dad into trading her miata in on it. I doubt it will happen but its such a great deal. I think they are asking $23,250 since its an Auto. I still can't believe I picked mine up. I worked so hard to get it and searched for nearly 2 months to find the exact car for a price that I could afford...
