You could probably get lower than 41k (may be below 39k) for the 05LE w/ tech package at this point.
As for choosing 05 and 06, it depends on your budget and the important of the new features in 06 since if you buy an 05 and plan to do the same upgrade later on, it would cost you bundle.
For me, I like the folding mirrorings and split 3rd row seat but I could not wait for 06 model.
As for brakes, anything built before 5/05 may not have the fix yet (correct me if I am wrong). But it is covered under warranty and has a TSB on it. The dealer should have new parts available in stock at this point.
Good Luck
