Default 2008 A5 vs 2010 A5 same mileage ..which is better

I have this interesting scneario

Car1: 2008 A5 3.2 premium plus quattro , $34000

car2 : 2010 A5 premium 2.0L AWD ,$35000

2008 A5 is 1000 dollars less than 2010 A5

Apart from warranty which will expire early for the 2008 A5 ,,, any other things to consider to help me make a decision

I will get a third party inspection done but both look good in pictures

Any thoghts/ideas/advices

First, the 08 is the model year,,, I would personally stay away...
On the other hand it has a pretty damn fast 3.2 I drove one, once they gave me a loaner.... Amazing.... For 1000 I'd rather go for 10 ...
Good luck .

KBB gives the below results

2008 -- $41650

2010 -- $43870

So somehow its suggesting more price for 2010 one which is making me think that there are some advantages with the 2010 one

Do either have Nav?

I would personally buy the 2010 and spend the grand on a Stasis Tune through your dealer.

I would say some sort of tune would be if you want some pep. Thats alot of lbs on that 2.0. Have talked to many 2.0 owners who agree. 2.0 is a great motor and works so well in our gti.

Even in stock form, the 2.0 is roughly on par with the 3.2 acceleration wise (and actually faster in some situations). With a tune, there's no comparison.
