Default Need help deciding between these two
Hey guys. I just wanted to know what you guys think about these two cars. The first car is an 03 white touring model with 60k miles for $12,000. I really like the overall look of the car. Its in the color I wanted, its a touring, and it comes with a lip kit. The next car is also an 03 but its red and its a base. My current car is red and I was kind of looking for a change. This car has only 41k miles which is its major selling point. Its priced at $12,500. I believe I could talk them down a little. Which one do you guys think is the better deal?

03 White Touring w/ 60k mi $12,000




03 Red base w/ 41k mi $12,500

First one looks cleeeeean! 60k could be a lot better than a 41k abused car. When I sold my 06 Evo 9 MR it had 49k on it but it look and drives like a 10k car...a lot better than 90% of the Evos for sale locally and someone bought it immediately!

Yeah I just love the way that white one looks. All it needs is some wheels and you could call it a day. Its just the seats will get dirty so fast...

I'm not a fan either.

Both of them have relatively low mileage, are these the only ones available in your area?

These arent the only ones in my area because I live in LA but these seem like the best deals with the mileage and price.

Do you think the dealer would go that low? I was thinking of asking for it for 12,700 otd. Is that too much?
