2002 or 2003

My local MB dealer has 2 G500 available, Both are in very good condition visually, but I am not sure which to go with.

Here are my options:
2002 G500 9k miles (9 thousand) for Low 50s
2003 G500 30k miles for Mid 50s

I have not asked for service records, but will once I get closer to making a decision.

What is the opinion of the forum on these 2 trucks? Low mileage with 2002 problems or high mileage w/o electrical gremlins.

I currently own a 2001 Range Rover SE with 42k miles, it is a great vehicle, but the warranty is up in 8k miles or 12/05. I am getting concerned because in the past year the local dealer has had to replace the entire drive shaft front to back and the viscous coupling for excessive vibration at highway speeds.

Thanks
Marc

Check the service history on the 02 and see if it had any issues. If it hasn't in the 9k miles, I would go for that one. Otherwise check ebay and find a newer one with less miles for low 50's. Your 03 is a little overpriced.
