And now with the pricing falling on the 04's to get ready for the updated 05's, its making me feel like I should have waited 2-3 months to get an 04.

i actually liked the magnum in theory. I own a house and have a project car too so I could certainly use the cargo space. something like the magnum would be my idea of "sport utility" since it should be fun to drive, yet can haul a lot of ****. however test driving it, it wasn't at all what i expected it to be. there's not one thing "sporting" about it at all except the engine and as I said above, that wasn't even really that impressive. it's certainly nothing you can throw into a corner or have much fun with.
Plus the major downfall at least so far is that every magnum RT on dealer lots is loaded with options. That $29,9XX magnum RT is an impossibility unless you order one, which will take months. I don't think the 29-30 price is out of line at all, if it was a typical american car loaded up with rebates to make it actually affordable, but since it's so new there's nothing for rebates, and like i said, you can't find one for 30 either.
