I have an opportunity to purchase a 2005 Escape Hybrid, with all the options, with about a 2,250 discount. I'm torn between taking that or waiting for a 2006. I expect I would get a similiar discount on a 2005. Does anyone have any opinions on the pros and cons? Here's what I have come up with so far:
2005
pro: currently available (in stock and like the configuration and color)
pro: 2005 tax incentive
pro: good price
con: first year model

2006:
pro: premium option package include heated seats (have on another car -
really like this option)
pro: second year model with any corrections learned from 1st year
con: no tax incentive at this time, unknown if will be
