I was thinking of trading my '03 for an MR or '05 because I heard so many people saying '03 have tranny problem and other thing...
But never really had any problem tho. So I'm sticking with the '03... don't see the reason for trading my '03

I'm not sold on the IX, especially since the specs just came out. I'm not a huge fan of the extras they did, but to each their own. I'd think it's a decent time to try and pull a deal on an 05...so I'm either getting an MR or I'm going to wait on the X...but the "concept" art I've seen on it better be way off...or I'm keeping the current style for years to come.

I believe you go with how good of a deal your buddy is going to give you...By the time you look at your financial situation and how much your going to be paying, you should have a pretty good idea of what to do...plus there is that whole concept of happiness...
Oh yeh and for the record my '03 tranny sucked...so the dealer put an '05 tranny in...

I was actually in the same situation as you. I just actually traded in my 03 for an 05. I had absolutely no problems with my 03 at all but had nearly 30k on it. I liked the idea of the new warranty and i'm paying almost exactly the same for the new one. I say if you want it go for it. If you like the IX then chill a bit but there are several changes that may or may not cause some issues. Good luck with it but either way the cars are all nasty.
