I think that those are the newest models, they call all the new ones 2005 because that was year they made changes. Most likely the date code when get it would be 2008. I know most stores sell them for $299. I would say thats a good deal. Etronics has them shipped for a little cheaper but they are out of stock right now. If you sign up and pay with ebill they give you $50 cash back. Makes for a great deal!!!! to bad out of Stock http://www.etronics.com/p-36213-weber-848001-22-12-inch...ll.aspx?svbname=550&
