Need your help and advice hopefully the last time!!

Okay so i'm down to two cars i'm choosing from, if it was your choice what would you do and why?

Choice 1. 2007 C2s with 24,500 miles, Loaded! w/ 6 speed, power heated seats, SC, bose, turbo wheels, Arctic silver, PSE i think b/c it has the button for the pasm showing a shock and also a button next to it showing "sport" doesnt that mean it has the sport exhaust?, PASM, full natural grey leather (it is natural grey they sent me new pics), clear bra, car look as mint as can be in and out, no warranty, have to ship from VA to Louisiana, think i can probably get it for 52 ish maybe 51.5

choice 2. 2009 C2 with 8400 miles, meteor grey, stone grey standard interior, PASM!!, bose, heated seats, vented seats, clear bra, universal audio connection for ipod?, 6 speed, power seats, base wheels, blue tooth, self dimming mirrors, serius radio setup....car is new...mint...car was not punched with warranty til 08/10 ..got them at 60k...thinking of shooting for 58k for finish!

I really love the features of the 07 and love the newness and color of the 09.
What about performance wise? Since the new car has pasm is that going to give me the ride i want for 19" wheels and does it not having SC make it not on par with the 07 performance wise? What to do? Oh, the new car is within 3 hours so no shipping!

09 has better features as a dd. Pse can be added. Less miles. Still under warranty. A no brainer, imo, if you can afford it.
Ps I had a meteor gray 08 cab and it is a great color.

Those buttons don't imply you have PSE, since all S models have those buttons. You can tell PSE by looking at the exhaust tips: the outer one should be bigger than the inner one.
I agree, PSE can always be added to a car. Things like full leather (if important to you) can't. The 09 C2 is almost as powerful, and has much better PCM.

I'd go fo the 09. New style engine, power is pretty much even, much improved creature comfort, skip the sport exhaust and add a Tubi, Sharkworks or FVD for sound. Also, in your part of the country you'll appreciate the vented seats.

Another vote for 09, rule of thumb is to get the newest one you can afford.

With PASM the 09 is a no brainer.

I there is a sport exhaust, there should be an additional button that activates the sport exhaust by it self.

S models with the port chrono option have the "sport" button that automatically stiffens the suspension, re-maps the throttle, and activates the PSE. Those without sport chrono have the separate PSE button.

Either would be a great choice. Need to weigh out all the +/- you can do alot of modding (not that it will need it) on the 07 for 8k difference

I'd go for the 09. Base 09 (w/DFI) performance is pretty much equivalent to pre-09S.

Just my 0.02,
