Help me decide, 2 CDI's, 07 or 08?

2 ML320 CDI for sale, Same price! So not a money issue.

08, pkg 1, 24,000 miles very clean.

07, pkg 2 plus sport etc, air suspension, xenon's, parktronic etc. It was a special order so it has everything. 49,000 miles, clean.

What do you all thing?

Thanks

ML320
If it were my choice I'd take the '08. Fewer miles, fewer gadgets equals more likely reliable. The 08 is still under warranty for about two years while the 07 is almost off now based on mileage. I'd love the xenon headlights but the rest of P2 is mostly fluff that can be a service headache down the road.

Lot of people on here ask about adding things after they buy a vehicle which is a hugely expensive job. The ''fluff'' that was referred to makes alot of difference to the owner exp.If you can get the dealer to CPO the loaded 07, I wouldnt hesitate to buy it.

I'd definetly go with the '08. Parktronic is a nice novelty but i'd rather have full controll of the car. I like to drive and yes, that incudes parking IMO.

Also 50K and close to 4 yrs old is pushing it.

I'd rather have an '08 with low miles to feel more like a NEW car.

Good luck whatever you decide. I'm sure you'll be happy either way.

Both are better than '09s, as that is the first year for runflat tires.

DUH.... Maybe thinking of a Lexus? I guess it's the camera and the beep when you get too close thingy?

IDK sounds kinda unnecessary and potentially anoying to me.

I still say, go with the '08

What is the price?

Are both CPO cars

Also I am not sure if anyone here can provide Manheim prices for 07 & 08 ML CDI's

Thanks

Neither are CPO.
I am leaning toward the 08.
But it depends on what they will give me for a trade.
