I'm glad to be making the decission, but it is far from easy. I love the Aero blue and it's calling me, but my decision will probably come down to the Carfax report. If the SSB has anything negative on the report, I'll be all over the Aero.

The Aero was registered on April 2005, and the SSB on April 2006. Same year car, but it appears the SSB was manufactured in '05 and I know the Aero was built in '04. I really think this may tip the scales.

Like Franc said, the TPM has a battery.
I was told (by somebody in the know) that the batteries in these things are supposed to last 8 years. But they're batteries, and I would think temp and moisture would play into how long each one lasts. Maybe even one too many chuck holes could take its toll on their longevity as well.
My car was built in January 04, so it's just over 7 years old, and my TPM started glowing in August. I just figured it was the battery.
Since the base cars seem to do fine with no monitors, I can too. Besides, the light is hidden by the steering wheel anyway.
The car's title dictates what year the car is, it doesn't matter if the car was manufactured in 04 or 05, it's still titled an 05.
I like both colors, if the SSB has a good Carfax, I'd probably go with it. Just assuming the "Lady" owned one may have been driven just a little easier. But that's not always the case.

Thanks for the offer though.
At that price, buy them both. If neither is sufficient unto itself, then
scavange parts from one to add to the other until your happy.

It appears that the SSB Crossfire is the victor. If all goes well I'll pick it up on the 20th. Thanks for all the help.

Good choice... I love the Aero Blue also(obviously), but the SSB looks to be the better of the two you are looking at. I owned both an SSB and the Aero for a couple of years and chose to keep the Aero.

You will have lots of fun with it and won't be able to stop grining!!
