Is this a good deal?
I'm considering purchasing the following:

2005 4.8is
sapphire black/black interior
Nav, all the other bells and whistles
4800 miles
$62,500 NOT certified.

What do you guys think?

For $3k you get a car with around 15k less miles... Will you have the car that long for the CPO warranty to come in to play?

I would say go with CPO. I'm sure others will chime and and offer their opinion, but having a bit of a warranty means a lot IMO. Plus...Imola.....COOL!

For only a few thousand more, I would go with the 2005 myself.

I would go with the 2005 for a few thousand more, and much less miles. You should be able to recoup that back easily when it's time to sell.
