The correct answer is the newest with fewest miles.
You should scratch 2011 and 2012, as that is the NG9-5.
There are still some with relatively few miles, including a loaded 2008 with only 50k miles here in Ft Wayne. I don't know where you're located, but if NE you should have plenty around you.
The additional HP of the Aero only applies to the earlier years. Almost every year the base engine gained some, by 2006? they all had the same turbo/boost.
My 2007 has been very reliable, but they had 8 years by then to work out the bugs. Yes, it still has the troublesome coolant bypass valve, and the rear spring issue.
By 2007 I'm sure that sales had really dropped, so finding a manual is going to be even tougher.
good luck
