Althought the 2008 is newer the 07' has more features will have a better resale value and has less miles to me thats important. Good Luck

Are these CPO? The 08 has small styling cues inside and out that add a little to me. The mileage is almost the same. Resale value on the 08 will be higher. The parking sensors will add almost nothing to the resale value. The year of the car will be more important at this point. Check Edmunds.com or KBB.

Thats true but the ML system will make the difference.

If the 08 doesn't have ML go with the ML 07. Well worth it. But nothing is like white on black.

I would roll with the 07, The 08 may look nicer imo, but the 2500 price difference can not be justified. Ask for 3% off the vehicle you want.

2500 for an all black interior would be enough for me to justify a difference. white on black looks so much better than white on grey

i plan to mod the car. so that 2500 can be used for many things. I do like the black interior better but the black wood trim isnt bad.
