No price?

Anyway, 6 speed is rare, but so is an asteroid hitting the earth, so don't expect that to add value.

You are driving a lot, so maybe you should look for a 2008, the next model year as you will get around 21 MPG with the 6 vs 17MPG or so.

A new body style is coming out this year, so expect the older body style to devalue even faster than the current one. With your 130k on the clock too!

Oh and the 6 cylinder is slow compared to the 8 and turbo!

Might as well look for one with navigation built in, doesnt add much more to the price and is $5000 to add afterwards.

Another point of view on the nav is that this technology seems outdated every 90 days so the '06 software (even with a 2010 Disc) is not modern Nav. I specifically avoided the built in nav on my '04 because of this. Now I have a $130 Garmin that has live traffic as well as easy map updates.

Good looking Pepper. Enjoy

Nice looking vehicle. I have a 2009 V6 and while it doesn't drive like a race car, I find it to have plenty of power for daily driving. It also handles and brakes very well for a fairly heavy vehicle. When I want to race around, I get in my Corvette Z06

The 2008+ V6 is the way to go. I wouldn't bother with the first generation V6, you might as well get out and run faster. The latest generation V6 is a nice vehicle, it has pretty good power, it is smooth and handles well, plus it is good on gas on the highway. The direct injection engine in the latest model along with "sport" mode make it a good all-rounder for the price.
