I think for the little extra money you will pay the sport is worth it. The leather wrapped steering wheel is sooo much nicer then the standard one. I drove my friends SR5 w/o it and it really made me appreciate the leather. Plus it has the steering wheel controls for the radio. Then for the nice factor of the color matched/heated mirrors, silver roof rack, x-reas, nicer looking rims (IMO), blah blah blah.
The leather steering wheel and shifter were a package with the steering wheel stereo controls on my '04.
I went with the SR5 mainly because at the time I bought, the 05s where due in a month, and there were no 04 Sports available with a V8.
That being said, the only thing that I really wanted out of the sport was the darker interior, and the telescoping steering column. I still wish I had the column, sometimes I feel like the reach to the wheel is just a little too far. It's not enough to make me unhappy with my SR5 though!

Check out Cherokee County Toyota if you haven't already. I know it's a drive but I got my baby for $26000 drive out when the jokers at Atlanta Toyota were trying to get me to buy an identical used one for $28000 plus tax, tag and title.
I've got a bird dog card here with my guy's name on it if you want to donate $50 so I can fix my truck!

I might just do that. My neighbor is actually good friends with the GM at Cherokee County Toyota so I might give them a shot. And they aren't too far from me, I live very close to the Cobb/Cherokee line.
Thanks for the advice!Atlanta '05 Sport

You also might want to check Sandy Springs Toyota. I shopped all of ATL metro and they beat everybody on my new '05 Sport
