Seems to me there are three mixed issues here.

1) What would you pay for the added features of an '05 over a '04 if all else were the same. (as if the features were an option package)

2) What would you pay for a 1 model year newer vehicle if all else (features) were the same.

3) What would you pay for the emotional satisfaction of having a newer vehicle. (perceived value of another year of production, hope for less bugs, etc.)

1) For me, I would put the value of the "05 features at least $1500 over my '03, and maybe $1000 over an '04.

2) I would have to look in the blue book, but I would guess that this is worth about $1000

3) Noda, nothing, zilch, 0!!!
