I'm about to buy my second car (not selling first) and I have two options.
1. 2008, 64,xxx miles, certified, from the dealer, clean carfax, good maintenance history, 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Warranty, 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty, color I want, car is flawless EXCEPT the leather on the driver seat is messed up.
2. 2010, 77,xxx miles, from mom and pop dealer, carfax shows no maintenance ever done on the car, not the color I want, car is flawless as well, checked out the car and everything seems to be in good condition it's running smooth.
The price is the same. Same exact car. Same interior. I'm all for the 2008 but, just wanted to get some more opinions before I seal the deal. Only reason I'm looking at 2010 is because resale value might be higher being that it's a two year difference.

It's a toyota avalon. I'm buying it for work and I'll probably sell it after 2 years or so.
