It seems you want it and you're looking for someone to validate your decision.

Basically though you're going to pay $33K (13K loss on your current car & 20K more for the 2012) to get 30K less miles and a CPO warranty while giving up a couple of features (dynamic cruise, coldbox, etc). A thousand dollars a mile. That's a hell of a lot of money.

It simply doesn't make economic sense. There's precious little that could ever cost you that kind of money that is more likely to occur with the 08 than with the 12. So, it's not economic - it's emotional and there's no justification or validation you can get from anyone else for an emotional decision. That's all up to you as to whatever sense of security you think you're getting with the 12 vs. your 08.

Hello, Goodmorning everyone ! I just thought I could bore everyone with one of the most "Intrigueing" problem ever encountered here! How do I get my alarm system / doors / smart key FOB to work again after my 05 LS 430 was parked because of a deployment? It will start only with an inserted key... but dash says key not detected. Key FOB is useless other than starting vehicle. And YESSSS I already disconected the battery for a day 2x
Any thoughts would be Dearly appreciated

Have you replaced the battery in your key? I'm sure thats what it is.
