Does the suit rack come with it?

CaptainEggs 04-24-2009 06:49 PM

i would go for the lowest mile, with good deal.

RXheart 04-24-2009 06:56 PM

Lol Razz with the Hanger jokes !

Logic would suggest buying the lowest mileage one. But, I would suggest looking at the maintenance records. I would rather buy a car with 40k miles that has been properly maintained, and with service records, than one with 20k miles and an unknown history. Of course, do a Carfax check, and eliminate any car with a wreck or flood history.

That said, I would hope that the red one with the 2-tone interior checked out, I love that interior too.

Good luck!

Yah thats kinda what i was weighing my options. The prices are all pretty much the same, so i was just kinda debating on which one would probably get the best deal... im a real big fan of the 2-tone interior like you.

Too many miles :(

Razz1 04-24-2009 09:07 PM

The high milage car could actually be the best. Depends upon maintence and care.

I have seen alot of low milage cars with bad exteriors and interiors, and thats before you check the mechanical condition.

Get someone that knows about cars and test drive them. Examine them.

ferg 04-24-2009 09:08 PM

Yah i really love the one with red and black interior but i feel that it hasn't been taking that good care of but the other red one has been but it doesnt have the interior. Its pretty much comes down to, do i wanna lose the interior that i really want and get a more reliable car or take the gamble of the interior i want and worry about it mechanical. It seems like a no brainier when i just typed that out... you would be stupid to take a car that is gonna be a problem.

I have a trade in and im looking to talk them down a grand or so... Not to mention they are only about 100 miles away. I have no clue where you are.

ferg 04-24-2009 09:30 PM

south florida, i even have s techs in the box still ready to be installed

bballboi948 04-24-2009 09:38 PM

Nice ride ferg! I love the custom display. Why are you selling?

always.anthony 04-25-2009 02:30 AM

i would buy from ferg if i where you. he knows what he's doing.

if i had to buy my car again, with more miles, i'd do a search for someone on the forums in my area. they probably read the threads and took care of the car.

kersh4w 04-25-2009 12:24 PM

red with red/black interior gets overbearing after awhile. ask me how i know.

blue is the best color.
