^^^^ Yep, it's a 2005, no warranty left, but all service records/books, etc. no stories...and recently replaced $3000 clutch (dealer says they did it for a buyer, but he bought a new car, previous customer sold 11 cars too, blah blah blah.)

this is the same palm beach car, yes.

2006 QP is a great reliable exotic performance sedan. Do your self a favor and save your nerves from tons of agrivation/frustration and visits to the dealer or independant with the proper diagnostic equipment. The extra money you pay for a 2006 over a 2005 is a huge value and well worth it. The first time the 2005 generates a nostart due to intermittent hydraulic pump failure you are going to be pissed.

I was a factory trained Ferrari and Maserati dealer tech at the highest volume dealer in Silicon Valley starting in 2005 when US QP's were first comming in. I know these cars well.

I just don't want you to make costly mistake. I don't keep up with the current market values, but from a technical point of view, I would rather have a very high mileage well maintained 2006 than a low mileage 2005. GL and keep us posted.

guys: do you know if the sport gt in 2006 offered up the wood steering wheel? i drove a 2009 car with the wood wheel and I can't seem to get it outta my head.
