Motor or Miles - The Giant Question

[RoachJeep]

Hey all, it's the standard question.

If dollars are relatively equal, do you go 5.4 with 70K miles or 6.2 with 100K miles?

Obviously you could swap any number for the mileage, but the ratio of 70% seems to be about average from my extensive 37 seconds of research.

6.2 all the way. Well until reallity sets in 5.4's are considerably cheaper than the '10 6.2's at least when I looked a few years ago.

Found a 6.2 with 104K miles listed at $26K. Don't really know if that is a good deal or not.

Depending on the condition that sounds like a good deal. For the 5.4 vs 6.2 question the 30k in miles would not offset the extra resale value of the 6.2 if we are saying the cost is the same. at least IMHO

6.2 is great, and everything is fixable...

6.2 is awesome. 5.4's are nice. If you get a killer deal on a 5.4 don't be afraid to jump on it.

Nothing wrong with a low mileage 5.4, drop a s/c on it and smile forever!
