I usually buy, but may end up leasing this time around, giving the risk to the dealer. For now I'm leaning towards the 5.0, but I'm waiting until the UDE in DC to decide which and buy.
Issues with the N63tu engine, I was unaware.
Apologies, I wasn't implying any issues with the N63tu. I was only saying that it is to new to know if the same issues with the N63 still exist in the newer engine.
