Are 08 G500's bringing in higher numbers then the 09 G550's?
Hello all,
I'm looking at a local G500 with aprx 40k miles and recently pulled the mmr (Manheim Market Report) on it at the auction. Mainheim's report is telling me that the mmr is aprox 49k although when I look up the mmr on an 09 G550 with 40k miles is is showing me an aprx mmr of 44k, I understand buying the last year of a motors run is always more desirable then the first years 550 but are the 08 500's that much more desirable then the first gen 550's? Is the demand really there for them and are people paying extra for a clean lower milage 500?
Any input would be appreciated.

If those are actual auction numbers, could be a case of the 08 G500 being that much cleaner/better condition than the 09G550. But I suspect there are people who prefer last model of the proven and quieter M113 instead of the 09 G550 and the M273 V8 with the growlier sports exhaust.
