Who pays MSRP for anything,Go to another dealer find out what they would give you for an 07 if it's close get the 07,If there is a big difference go with the 06 they all look the same.

Is it the car you want or is it just the large discount that has attracted you?

On a purely subjective note I look over the list of options on the car and see many I wouldn’t want even for “free” so you have to ask, if you were ordering a new car today would you order many of the options that are on this particular vehicle? You could order a nice 2008 for approximately the same price they want for this two year old car which leads me to my second point.

For registration purposes in the state of California this car is still considered new due to the fact that it has never been titled and will therefore be sold using a new car report of sale. However, if you traded the car in three years from now the value would be predicated on it being a five year old vehicle, not a three year old vehicle. If you plan to keep the car for many years this will not much of a problem, but if you “trade up” every few years or so it will be; it will always be valued as a 2006 and has therefore already suffered two years of new car deprecation.

Looks like a good deal. My only caution is it may be hard to get good resale with all those options. If you ever trade it in, the dealer will not give you hardly anything for aero-kit etc. I know it does not seem right, but happened to a friend of mine...
