What would you choose? **DECISIONS TIME** is 08 is350 worth that much?

Wow really? There is nearly a 70,000km difference between the two... I would have a hard time choosing the preferred color over the mileage. Unless the car with low miles was black, then it would make the decision harder.

40,000 km = 25,000 miles. 08 seems overpriced to me. Should be even less than the 07 with that many more miles. All things being equal, I'd say save your money and go with the 07.

Srorry to hijack the thread but I'm in a similar situation. I found a white 2006 is350 with 50k and a silver 2008 is350 with 70k. Both have are 1 owner cars, luxury package and the same price. One is just at a dealer and the other one is a private owner. I will say i do prefer white but what do you guys think is a better value? The 08 needs front and rear bumper painted but has the oem gfx kit and 06 needs no work.

LOL, man you crack me up!!!! What a great analogy. Damnnnnnnnn
I would also go for the lower mile vehicle on face value , but the question I would consider also would be how hard they ran those extra miles between the 07 and 08 would be , that's what I would look for in my decision,
21 yo girlfriend or 22 yo girlfriend ? Depends on how hard the mileage

In your case, I would get the 2008 instead for the following reasons:
1. 2008 is more refined since 2006 is the first year model.
2. You don't need to do the stupid PEDAL DANCE to turn off the traction control in the 2008 model.
3. 2008 model generally holds better resale value than the 2006.
