GT or R3
 

After typing a long thread about which car I was thinking about buying, then hitting submit only to find out I was logged out in the middle of typing. . . here it goes again, the shortened version:

I have narrowed down my search to 3 different 8's. Red R3 in Denver (where I live) with 19.5k miles for $21k, Blue R3 in TN with 21k miles for $18.5k or a Silver GT in OH with 19.5k miles for $17k. I think I prefer the GT over the R3 as I don't need a track car and the comfort features appeal to me more at this stage in my life (Sunroof, heated seats, Auto climate control, Auto on Wipers and Headlights). I like the Blue color the most of these 3 (I would prefer a White GT over anything but the only one I was able to find was in TX, was lowered by looking at the photos and has 40k miles on it), the Red R3 is in Denver so I could actually test drive it, but at almost $4k over the GT, is it worth it? I like the Silver GT because of the low mileage, price, but it is over 1k miles away and I have no way of looking at it, test driving it, etc (same with the Blue R3 and I don't really like a red car).

Anyway, I am looking for people thoughts on how differently the GT drives from an R3, if the sunroof is a problem from me (I am 6'1") and how best to find someone to go take a look at these for me/

The post literally below yours had this same question :)

Lol, well then, I have received no response from the people in the NE sections on anyone stopping by the stealership to take a look at this car for me, any ideas on that? I guess I can go test drive the R3 here in Denver to see how it drives. I test drove a GT a few months back, but honestly anything will be an improvement over my DD (06 Xterra).

You have done about all you can with asking for someone to check it out for you. Hopefully someone that can help will see it before long.

For some reason, everytime a dealership in Denver gets an 8, they automatically mark it up $3-4k, they are like gold up here . . .

Ok so I test drove the R3 today, wow that thing drives like its on rails . . . too bad they won't budge on the price. I do have one other question, the paint on the Blue R3's, does it have all the metalic flakes like on the red, I never really liked red cars, but the paint on the red R3 is very nice in person, net photos just don't show the metalic in the paint all that well.
