Slaps76, 10 months ago I purchased our brand new 2004 Limited 6 spd. for less than 25K off EBAY, and 3 weeks before I got it, the dealer sold another one for 2K less than I paid for mine. That's why I think if you shop around on the net, there are deals to be had. I don't see why sometime after the 1st. of the year (when business is really slow) in the Northern states, or maybe even December when the Christmas slow down hits, great deals just may be found on some new 05's. It wouldn't surprise me if there aren't some new 04's still on the lots too. The key is to shop the internet diligently every day, and it wouldn't hurt to visit your local dealers as well.
As I've said before in previous posts, "If you're shopping for any kind of sports car, not just a Crossfire, shop where the ground is "white" for 3 or 4 months out of the year". The dealers in those locations are usually much more receptive to offers on cars that seldom move out the door until spring. Good hunting, and don't get discouraged if it takes a little while. The money you save will make it all worth while.
