I ended up buying the 2006 - 44,000 miles, 2wd, V8, 6 Speed Manual, just picked it up friday - my drive to work is 44 miles round trip, all highway. I'll be curious to see how it does. The guy did put a CAI on it, not sure what that will do for fuel economy, but well see either way.

 

Great! Post some pictures!

 

Good choice. As others stated, the V8 usually only takes away 1 MPG compared to the V6, and offers far more power.

 

I have a 2006 SLT 4.7 6spd manual 2wd. I also have the 3.55 rear. Around town I tend to get 14-15 MPG. On the highway I will get 16.5-17.5MPG. I also went through the 3.7 vs 4.7 debate when I bought (I bought mine new) and since I tow my car periodically I went with the 4.7. I don't regret the decision to with the 4.7, I also have a Flowmaster cat back system on which sounds nice.

 

It's a crappy cellphone shot after I got the tint done:



I was thinking about going with the flowmaster dual setup to compliment the K&N CAI the previous owner put on, is it a pretty easy operation? I see lots of claim of increased mpg with CAI and Exhaust, but I can't believe that...

 

I envy your rear sliding window... you should paint the bumpers black like all the cool kids.

 

But everything is already black....

 

My v6 gets about 15-16 city and 17-18 highway. But doesnt matter really since you already bought

 

Good, Welcome to the Cool Kids, Mine came grey... your picture makes the bumpers look grey also.

 

X2 everything looks black to me
