Best and worst car buys as model year
changes

leftover bargains |
 2004
Ford F150 Heritage pickup
The arrival of an all-new 2004 F150 was rightly heralded,
but Ford produces so many pickups at so many facilities, it
had to continue to build the old model -- rebadged as the Heritage
-- alongside the all-new model. These Heritage models have the
same reliability and utility that made the F150 a best buy,
and if you can find one on the back of a dealer's lot you can
make a steal. |

 2004
Infiniti G35
One of the best entry-level sedans on the market, the
G35 competes in a tough market and now has been eclipsed in
performance by the new Acura TL. But for most drivers, the G35
is still a blast to drive, and dealers are now posting some
attractive discounts. |

 2004
Corvette
Sure, there's a faster, better Corvette coming this fall, but
the "old'' C5 model is no slouch. And unlike some cars,
Corvettes from different eras hold their value pretty well,
even when there's a newer model making a debut. |

 2004
Honda Odyssey
Toyota has remade its Sienna minivan, and the Nissan
Quest is sharp as well. But what the '04 Odyssey lacks in avant-garde
styling it makes up for with legendary Honda reliability. |

 2004
Chevrolet Suburban
We know what you're thinking -- gas is hovering around
$2 a gallon and they're recommending a guzzler like the Suburban?
Sure, it will take a half a C-note to fill the tank, but GM
is offering as much as $6,000 in rebates on this beast, and
that will pay for quite a few gallons of fuel. |
