That's the one I'm looking at.

It has the yellow dash so it would be the 05 but it says MY2006?

Rims are pre-facelift. He might just have purchased it in 2006, some sellers are a bit confused as to the MY.

Yeah true..
I like the pre facelift wheels better imo

It should be a 05 one. see the euro r rim, prelift grill orange dash, etc

[kristrifo]

its pre-facelift

you can tell by the lights and the dash...the facelift model has a blueish colour instrument cluster

So the late 2005 ones were sold as MY2006 but it pretty much just changed the exterior kit but left the interior the same?

youll have to look at the placard and see the build date

it would be an 04 model built in 05 from the looks of it...the 05/06 financial year is when the facelift model came out

I'll go take a look at it soon and find out then.

Still considering getting an 05 because there's no good 06's on the market..

there was only prelift <=2005 (2005 got euro r rim, other than that should be the same as other 2003-2004 model) or facelift >=2006. there would not be any euro MY2006 just changed the exterior but not the interior. The only exception would be the previous prelift owner change the front bumper to facelift one himself...
but again, your carsales link definitely is the prelift one.

Yeah you guys were right. Thanks for clearing that up.

Saw the car today and it looked good from far but it's far from good..

Actually it's not that bad, drives excellent but cosmetically, quite a bit of scrapes, scratches, chips etc. Looks like I'll be giving this one a miss!

Haha this is true!

80% of lux manual euros for sale are black though!
