Argonaut,

Thanks for the reply. The nav system is the only new option that I am aware of and might be interested, depending on the sophistication of it. What would be cool (for an H2)would be a nav system that included topo maps. Probably unlikely.

Frank,
You make some very good points. However, there is 1 issue that you didn't address (which may or may not be valid). It seems to me that buying a vehicle at the very end of a model year should bring an impressive discount because as soon as the next model comes out, you instantly have a 1 year old car, despite the fact that you have only owned it for a few weeks (I'm speaking in terms of resale value). This relative value will carry through as long as you own the vehicle. Doesn't matter when I would sell or trade, an '04 will always bring more than a '03, all other variables being equal.

So, that is the real issue for me. The nav system - maybe, but I could always add an aftermarket one later.

Now, with the '04's coming out soon, what do think an appropriate discount off MSRP would be? In my area, a few months ago the dealers weren't discounting at all.
