Its all relative. You will get big numbers from an older car, but things are going to break.
Throw 6g's into an 06 model and it's going to be pretty darn reliable for at least a few years.

I was just saying in general, not necessarily your particular situation. For you the older car works, but for someone who has the means to acquire the 06 that makes more sense to me than trickin out an older car. I'm sure if you were able to get the 20k you would buy the newer one too.

Who wouldnt..
There would be nothing like owning a new car, having everything under warranty and just that general "new car feel" really beats having an old car.
