Opinions needed! 08 with 80k or 09 with 110k!?!?

If you were to buy a "new" used truck what would you pick?

Both trucks are white stock crew cab short beds ltz's both loaded. The 08 has 80k miles and a few scratches from being a truck. The 09 looks mint except for the normal wear in the front seat but has 110k.

The price difference is about 5k with the 09 being less money.

What do you think?

can the 08 be color sanded and buffed to get the scratches out, or are they too deep?

Havent seen it in person so not sure to be honest. Anything can be fixed but i dont mind having a truck with a few scratches. That way when i put a scratch in the thing im not pissed off for weeks..lol

 

[Ryan T]

true.. if scratches dont bother you go with the truck with lower miles..

I would go newer, miles dont bother me I can fix mechanical issues but Im not a bondo b!tch :rofl:
Just think of where that $5k could go :thumb:

 

[Ryan T]

i didnt read far enough to see the price difference... 5k is alot of $$

 

[Boostlee93]

Thats what i was thinking. Basically i could have an 09 with built tranny for the same price as the 08.

The 08's have the older tcm that can be tuned where the 09' would need an 08' tcm installed to tune it. Don't know if the 09' has trac control and stabilitrac, if so it can he a headache if you plan on hot rodding it.

X3. Id buy the cheaper one, if it drives nice, looks nice, miles mean nothing, and put the 5k into mods.
