i would go with 06+ with less miles. My preference. 05's dont have steering wheel controls and i use the hell outa mine.

really? why is that? you can still use the steering wheel controls with different head units if you use the pac thing

just kinda tacky to me! its like having a remote control as well. why have a remote control if the cd player is right there beside your hand!

to each his own i guess. Its just easier to use my thumb to hit the track up/down button while im driving instead of reaching for the radio

ehh, i would think its a bit much. Maybe $12.5 or so for being an 05 with 50k miles. I would look on cars.com to see what you can find.

the kelly blue book quotes a little over 15k for that year and mileage in excellent condition

If you can afford it, buy new. tCs are hot cars and their value holds up really well.
Plus, there's nothing like that new car smell! <sniff> <sniff> Yummy!

If you can drive stick, get a manual, you'll never regret it.

uhh thats not that great of a deal considering i got a 2007 with 3,500 miles (thirty five hundred, not 35 thousand...) for 17 grand.

it had the 18 inch enkeis and a pedestal spoiler and tints and an alpine headunit and 1 amp too. WHAT A FIND!
