Sorry can only advice on this one topic as I've only owned mine for 3 weeks
But when I was researching, I too saw a coule of 2006's that were asking $25k for, with 12-25k miles on them. We didn't really try to negoatiate as I liked the looks of the 08's anyways, but only got one dealer down from $25k for an awd to I think $21,9-22,x? sorry the number slips my mind now. It did not have the nav package, it was OK, just not new. For me, the difference of 22k (used)-28k (new) was worth it to get new. Only new qualifies for IRS tax credit up to $3k (possibly if you qualify), It's 2 model years newer, and obviously holds resale value much better than most vehicles, new software in the 08. I can't say anything about cold weather. Did the dealer say why it was traded in? That might give a suggestion, if the previous owner didn't like the cold weather abilities, is that why it's traded? I think engine block warmer is an option, but couldn't say for sure, here in OK we only dip into the -10's for brief periods (<week).
Good luck, if you buy one, hope you have as much fun in it as I am having!
Not sure if the link takes you to the exact car, but here's a 2006 32k mi, $26,9:
