What to get??? 07 or 08
I can get a fully loaded 08 AWD for 46K. Tey have a 07 with 13K miles and I can get that for 39.5K same car. What would you do?

I was in your shoes about 2 weeks ago. Go with the '08. Always go with the latest model. Think about it like this. Lets say it 2009, and your driving your old 07 model, how are you really going to feel inside?

easy choice, 08 without a doubt, unless that 6.5k will put you in a financial struggle, if you can afford a new car, why settle for used.

For me, 2007 if a new car is still available. Go with your heart!

Seriously Heng350, haha my 07 was just a bit under 50k after tax and everything. 08 definitely, anyways would you want a car where you weren't the first owner?

Go with the 08. But if you get an 07, you can save the extra for mods.

I'd go 08, even the new grille which I didn't like is growing on me, though I don't think I would ever think it's really beautiful ...

Another thing to consider, if the car is CPO - Certified Pre Owned, it does extend the powertrain warrnaty to 100,000 miles.
