yeah i belive the 05 hade a problem with the bad power steer hose where it may crack if it under high temperature for a prolong period of time.

also the windshield wiper motor had some problems with water getting into it and malfunctioning.

You should check up with the dealership if these issues had been addressed.

Wow, that thing was never driven. My 05 had 52K miles when I got it. Nice grab.

My dad has an '05 with about 88K on it. Never one single problem with it; a few annoying rattles but he hasn't had to put any additional money into it besides regular maintenance.

If you're getting the 6sp, may want to take notice of "notchiness" or difficulty in engaging 3rd gear. There are TSBs out about this issue. My 05' with less than 30k on the clock had this issue.
