Buying 2009 or 2007 impreza 2.5i?

I have been given the choice of a brand new Impreza 2.5i and a 2007 2.5i with 15k miles on it and basicly brand new. Is it the obvious choice to go with the new one or not? Because I can't decide. Does anyone have any thought on which I should go with?

Now that cash for clunkers has ended, dealers will start getting anxious to make sales so new (if the 09 is on the dealer's floor plan financing) may not be much of a premium.
In fact, there is a lot of stuff that is way better on the newer models - interior design and materials, seats, exterior styling, rear seat space - while the mechanicals are essentially the same. Then you also have a new car with full warranty vs a used car with less warranty and who-knows-what having being done by the last driver.
With C4C over, deals will come back down to invoice and below on new Imprezas. If it's your own money on the line, the '07 should be at least $4-5K below invoice of the new equivalent trim, to go with the used. So around $14K for a special edition or OBS stick shift. Anything higher than that, it's worth it to go with the new car instead.

Thank you for your comments
Use fitzmall.com as a reference for real-world pricing, they're a no-haggle dealer here in the Mid atlantic.
OTOH, if they are advertising the '07 at $15,995, they may well take $14K for it, in which case I think that one does deserve a second look. That's a $4500 savings for a car with only 15K miles on it.
