[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 620858, member: 60724"] Buying back the 04 off-lease probably isn't financially practical, or at the very least may not be. To be sure, go out and see if you can find the same year, same condition, same mileage STs for less than your buy back (with all things considered), and if you can, buy one of those instead IF you really want to keep an 04. Your buy-back price won't reflect the down-turn in the market for used-SUVs, which I have to assume has hit most every part of the country. You may be able to negotiate a lower buy-back price, but I doubt it (it's on your lease contract). So, decide first if you can afford to keep the '04 or buy a similar used one; and compare that cost to buying or leasing a new '07. Then, once you have considered all the financial options and pros and cons, then take the '07 for a test drive, or two... Personally, I don't think the styling is THAT different, especially as I have seen the '07s in person (pictures just don't do it justice), and for the things I don't like about it when compared with the vintage models (like the grill), there are things I DO like (wider, longer).
