i have a 04 i just wanted to know?

i was thinking of getting a 05 before the 9's come out so my resale value on my car don't drop to much what do you guys think is it a good time to buy? are the 05's a lot more maintenance then the 04/03's because of acd? how often do you change and how much $$$ is it for each change just for acd? any info

& how much you guys think i can get for my 04 8 with 10,000 no leather i hope 23/24?

Hard to say, i know there are 03/04's on carmax selling for around 25, so I guess it all depends on the dealer

The maintenance manual does not address the changing of the ACD fluid. The system only holds about 1/2 qt. I do not think it very expensive to service as long as the system does not fail.

so no one has a exact amount?

plus i was wondering how bad do the evo's suffer from boost leaks? thats one thing i don't like about boosted cars. is it more prone too getting a leak if you have higher boost levels like say 03/04's get 18 & a half psi & 05's get i think 20 & a half psi so do the 05's have a better chance for a leak? & the only way you can tell if you have a leak is if you do a pressure test? i wounld like to do a test but never did one before so i'm a little nervous on trying it

so any suggestion anybody

Do you sit at home and try to think up the dumbest questions imaginable?
