Also the front grille is different. On the 07 it's pretty straight, but on the 08 it has a different look.

The differences are mostly minor and subjective, but with the ingenuity of the guys on this board you can easily change/update/modify nearly anything to the '07 that the '08 has.
If you're gonna pay $25K fora used one with 24,000 miles...skip it and definitely get the '08. You should be able to get one with all 3 pkgs for under invoice price easily. Here in MD there's a dealer selling the '08's for $500 under invoice and they even have (2) new '07 XLS models which they are selling for $25,390 w/Sun&Sound, Nav, and Luxury pkgs.
Good luck.

FYI you saw an SE which has chrome on the lower side garnish and does NOT have interior chrome door handles (although it's supposed to based on a MMNA press release...not sure why it doesn't.)

I wouldn't buy a 2007 with 24k miles for $25,000. I have seen 2007's with 3k and all 3 packages go on eBay for $21,000, so if you keep your eye out, you might find a better deal. If you could find one at a price like that, then buy used and save $10 grand.

Hey-
Tdford used my pic in his post - woohoo... The doors are definitely nicer, people....but the car still drives the same - GREAT...
Oh, BTW - Cuffy is right. I got a brand new 2008 XLS - with everything on it (cept the entertainment screen for rear passengers) and I paid like $400 over invoice. With shipping (I had to go to Kansas to get it) I paid $1000 under sticker...There ARE deals to be made out there.

At least in Mexico there is a difference between years, 07 looked good, but the 08 looks even better IMHO..
