- 2004-2007 Mer Mountaineer
Hi, I am going to buy a Mercury Mountaineer tomorrow. Here are my 2 choices:
2004 V8 with 38k mi. or 2007 V6 with 63k mi.
I can get both for about the same price. If everything else were equal, which would be a wiser choice?
I will be towing a utility trailer (a few weeks a year for vacations), but loaded weight will be under 2,000 lbs.
The rest of the time, I'll be doing mostly city driving. I am not too concerned about the gas mileage difference (although I hear it's negligible), but I really do prefer the 2007 body style over the 2004 body style. However, that low mileage on the 2004 is quite attractive.
Thanks for your input. Perhaps you could tell me if I should be posting this question somewhere else on the forum, and if so, where?
