The 08 has 76k miles on it and the 13 has about 116k miles on it. My main thing is this, do I need to worry about replacing any big components like transmission or timing belt within the next year or 2? Or do I just need to do the usual spark plugs, oil change and brake pads? I’ve got 3500 in savings rn for a car so ideally it’d be a 2k down payment. If I can get away with zero down payment then I’ll just save it for mechanical emergencies.
08 all day. Significantly less mileage. Both cars are great and have a good solid motor but with that low of miles you’ll have more longevity. I have had both of those models and I always preferred the sportier look of the older. I have a 2011 and it’s at 165k miles and I’m starting to get some things that need replaced. So if you want more life then the 08 is the way to go.
