Which would you choose and why?

I am considering purchasing a CL600. If you were offered a 2005 with 50,000 well maintained miles or a 2006 with 75,000 well maintained miles for roughly the same price, which one would you choose and why would you choose it?

Thanks

So much not known, what are the colors, do either have the sport package, do either have stop and go??? If they are exactly the same I would get the 2005. Just for the less miles. Early enough time to do Manitence and other stuff. If the 2006 had the sport kit though and was black or white then I would do the 06

Thanks for the reply. I should have added that both the 2005 and 2006 are pretty much identical except for mileage. I know that 2006 is the last year for the W215. In your opinion, is the 2006 the best of the W215 series?

There's no difference in the 2005 and 2006 model years

It's really luck of the draw as to which one will be better

Just see if coils and abc have been done and possibly engine mounts. If one has these items already fixed then go with that one as these items are expensive.
