It's been a long journey, but we finally got our 05 X tonight. It's an S model, 4x2 with power package, utility package and a few other goodies. What took so long was the dealer having to swap out to get the solar yellow my wife insisted on again (she had an 00 SE 4x4 previously).

Of course, I like yellow too and have to agree it was worth the wait. I hope to get some pics tomorrow with my camera phone and will post them up.

Sticker was $24,380 and we paid $22,180 after all discounts, etc. We could have probably gotten it another $400 +/- cheaper if they didn't have to dealer swap. That a good price?

Either way, we are ecstatic. Such an improvement over the 2000 model. Once all the older model owners get a taste of the new V6 power, they will be sick.
