If it feels right, and you're happy with the deal, then go for it!

And then, bring it home and post pictures...

LOL! Yeah sounds good guys... I just think that despite the 08 being less pristine from the outside... The year younger, and lesser 24K miles will go a long way for me...

Plus even according to the "books" the 08 actually is a good deal, versus the 06, just a fair or slightly overpaid deal...

Pictures will definitely come up if I get it :-)!

I would go for whichever 'felt' better. I have driven plenty of cars that on paper are identical, but in reality were night and day difference.

LOL loving the excitement here, thanks guys :-)!

Unfortunately, there was no clear winner for me in terms of a "feel" :-)
