Default Good deal?

I have an 03 touring with 125K and can buy a 08 Grand Touring with 45K miles for $6,000 diff, taxes in. Both in great shape. Is this a reasonable trade?
Thanks

Definitely the low-mileage HR, and from the pic it looks like it's really a GT (many are advertised at the wrong trim level).

Definitely go with the '08. It'll be worth the extra dough up front.

I bought the 08, turns out it was an 07, ( registration was wrong).
I don't think there is much difference between the 2 years.
It does need new tires. Going to replace the stock 265/35-19 s with 285/35-19 s and the stock 245/40-18s with 255/40-18s ( nitto invos). This keeps the VDC ratio inside the 3% variance.

I would definitely upgrade, and then trade wheels with me. I love my HR compared to my 06.

I assume when it fails it leaves you "high and dry" or is there a way to hobble home?
Is premature failure induced by hard driving or does it just happen for no good reason?
Thanks
