So, I had an 08 LS which has now been written off

I am now looking for another on. Either 07,08,09 but I dont know what the differences are. All accessories I find seem to be for 07 TO 09.

Why get an 08 or why get an 09 vs an 07?

I found a pretty cheap, clean 07 xls loaded, nav, dvd etc..for 15K but has 148000 Kms on it

 

a great resource on this is the wikipedia page on the outlander. The '07 and '08 are just about the same thing. the '09 supposedly new door interior door panels that were to match the dash.

 

07 had the best color - the blue one.

Year to Year Changes



2008 Mitsubishi Outlander: A four-cylinder engine became available for 2008. Rated at 168 horsepower, the 2.4-liter four-cylinder, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) went into the Outlander ES model, which could no longer have V6 power. The four-cylinder also went into a new SE (Special Edition) Outlander, which borrowed some upscale features from the top-end XLS. Four models were offered this year: ES, LS, SE, and XLS. All could have a navigation system with a 30-gigabyte hard drive and wireless cell phone link. ES and LS models dropped the sliding second-row seat.
2009 Mitsubishi Outlander: The 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander lineup received few changes, though the LS version was dropped.
2010 Mitsubishi Outlander: The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander got freshened styling and a new sporty model. New for 2010 was the sport-themed GT, which was AWD only. It used the 230-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and a 6-speed automatic.
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander: The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander had a revised model and feature lineup. The AWD versions of the ES and XLS were discontinued

 

Thanks,

I mised both of those some how in my searches.

On a good note, I bought a 08 xls, perl blue with 40,000KMS for 18K (I think its a good price, everyone else wanted 22+)

Cant wait to get it!

 

contrats!!
