Question for Newbie

Hey,
I am in the market for a new S500. I found a slightly loaded 2003 S500 for 71K. Is it really worth the extra 10K for the 2004? Is the only real difference the 7spd Auto? Please some help?

I am not sure, but I think 71k for the 2003 sounds high.

I would say 71k is decent depending on how well equipped the car is and the mileage. If it is basically stock push for 65-68k or so. I find that reasonable. But thats my opinion.
