looking at getting into a 07-08 x this one has 106 miles and is much cheaper .. would buying an 07 with 106k mile be a good idea you think it could make it to 200k?

or there is this one which is mildly out of my range both cars are full loaded pre,tech, nav... is the 07-08 switch worth the extra 3k?

My opinion would be to go with the 07 106k. I know car fax is not as legitimate as everyone thinks as far as certain things not being reported. From what I see the vehicle has been very well taken care of inside and out and even the recommended maintenance shows that it has been performed to a good degree. These vehicles maintained well will last you a while with the experience that I have had with Nissan/VQ motors. What are your thoughts on the two compared? does one drive better then the other?

 

ha well i have not driven either one of them yet,,,, what should i look for in the 07? anything to check in particular and are there any main differences between the 08 and 07 besides that ipod connector in the dash?

 

IMO, 1 model year newer and 16k miles is worth the $3k.
The 08 has a few minor cosmetic upgrades. Better finish, non scratching/peeling material for the door handles and steering wheel trim. Factory iPod integration.

Edit: 08 also has the Driver Sound Stage feature added to the Bose

 

i somewhat agree but its actually a 4k difference doh! for a 16k mileage difference and 08 dash panel which who knows what the cost is to put the 08 dash panel material in an 07 or if its already been done ? ... iPod integration aint worth it that much to me already has the SD card thing... but do you think i could haggle the 08 down to 16k ?

 

honestly i wouldn't rush it and anything more then 15kmiles/year is way to much Imo

keep looking

 

At 120k you're buying an old car in a new body. Sure the car could very well be trouble-free for another 80k miles, but ALL your moving parts on that car have 120k miles (except brakes & tires). If it's going to be just a fun secondary car that you won't have to depend on for long trips and many years of service then I'd get it. I would definitely reconsider if you want it as your main ride though, just a few thousand more and you can probably find one w/ one third the miles and maybe even some warranty left.
