Default new guy here..08 GS 350 or 08 GS 460

Hi guys, im new to the forum here and in the process of getting a new car. I can't decide if i should get an 08 GS 350 with 16k miles for 36k, or a 08 GS 460 with 49k miles for 34k. both are fully loaded. the 350 have lesser miles but the 460 is a V8. im leaning towards the 460 even though it has 49k miles..what do yall guys think?

Welcome to the club. I say go with the 460 and just compromise.

49K for a car that almost 4 years old isn't bad. Thats roughly 16K in miles a year. Since gas prices don't seem to be an issue, I say go for the 460.

Welcome to CL. Since you aren't getting/need the 350 in AWD.....I'd pick the 460 as well.

Have you driven both? The 350 power is enough for most. I'd go with the 350, but talk them down a few thousand
