Unhappy 2003 vs. 2004 -- what to do? Help.

I am torn. I'm in the market for a new truck, am A-plan, and do not know if I should wait on the 2004s or go with the clearance 2003. The clearance offer such great incentives, and would save between $3,000 and $5,000 on an 03 versus an 04. I am primarily buying a truck for utility purposes--the have it when I need it types. Anything overly negative about an '03 that justifies the wait and cost for an '04

What to do?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Depending on what truck and trim level you want, the A-Plan should save you 3-5K alone, not counting rebates and I would assume the A-Plan would be similarly priced for '03's & '04's. I'm A-Plan, too, and am waiting on my '04 Lariat 4x2 SCrew. It saved me $5600 off MSRP and $1300 below invoice. I guess it really depends on what you want.

The deciding fractor for me would be how long I was going to keep it.

If I was keeping it five years or less I'd get the 2004.

If I was keeping it more than five years I'd get the 2003.

Read the "Chickened Out, bought the '03 thread." We were discussing that extensively yesterday.
