'04 or 05' wagon?

I'm going to get a WRX wagon soon. Should i go with the '04 or should i wait for the '05? What about the price difference, i know that it should be the same, but demand wise.. Can i still get a good deal on the '05? I'll probably go to Santa Cruz, CA to purchase..

i would think that with a higher demand for 05's you will be paying closer to MSRP initially.

mayeb wait to see the differences between the two models. yu might want one of the new colors, etc...

also, i am sure you are chomping at the bit, but try to wait until you are confident you are making the right decision.

I like the 3, but it's in a totally different class than the WRX. I would wait for the '05 if I were you. There are supposed to be some small changes for the '05 model, some new colors added, and the body style will still be the same. If the changes in the '05 aren't significant, of if you don't care, then at least you've got the option and you can help a dealer clear out their '04 inventory at a discounted price
