Anyone buy out their lease.

[H2 007]

That price probably isn't toooo far off of what you'd find for a nice '05. I'd imagine that you could find one for a little less than that come July '08, but then again you've owned this one and know it inside and out.

I'd say if you really like it, see if they will negotiate with you on the price. Sometimes they offer 'pull ahead' deals where they will take yours in around 6 months prior and you can get something newer if you wanted to.

If your set on the interior of the '05, possibly you could negotiate for a new '07. I think they still are offering 0% financing on them. Then again, by July '08 they may be starting to come out with the '09's shortly so they may have some deals on those.

Additionally, if you haven't already, check out the new '08's. I've had an '03, an '04 an '05 and now the '08. My '05 was my favorite by far out of the others, and I was a little on the fence with the new '08 interior, but now that I have it I love it.

The new '08 engine, trans and gearing make for better drivability and while I never thought my '05 was a dog, the '08 really gets up and go's for such a big vehicle. Mileage is better with the '08 as well, not that anyone really buys these for good mileage.
