but 14k miles

or

lower miles, extended instead of full leather, wood instead of carbon fiber, not certified.

Foggins · 09-03-2018, 11:30 AM

Two nice examples, but I would go with the lower mile one, that is basically a brand new car. Good luck!

Hachima · 09-03-2018, 12:18 PM

Did the second one have the 1200 mile service done on time?

jc05e46m3 · 09-03-2018, 12:42 PM

Verify 1200 mi service at the one in Vista, and if it was completed, go with that option for sure! Brand new car, essentially, and Certified doesn't mean as much as it used to with now only getting an additional year and unlimited mileage. Just my .02!

Chhr · 09-03-2018, 12:44 PM

Full leather and CPO warrant would be my choice. Yes it does have more miles but now you get a longee warranty period. Full leather is pretty nice and expensive option.

Poiseuille · 09-03-2018, 01:01 PM

For me, it depends on whether you think you'd turn this car over in two or three years, or keep it for an extended period. If the former, then it doesn't matter which one you pick. If the latter, then I'd definitely pick the car with under 2000 miles. The point others have made regarding the 1200 mile service really is a big deal. If that service was not done within spec then very serious warranty issues could arise later on. This is so important that I would not rely on anything the dealer says, or writes on to a sales contract. I would insist on seeing the key-read live. I personally would not pick a convertible, but the good news about convertibles is that you'll be pretty sure it wasn't an M-school car.

I know the sales manager at Vista Pompano. DM me if you're heading that way.

Never Convicted · 09-03-2018, 09:25 PM

The one that isn’t white.

doug_999 · 09-03-2018, 10:13 PM

Get the white one...

AJM1125 · 09-03-2018, 11:11 PM

I'd personally go with the certified. Full leather is a bonus, CF trim is a must although you could switch it out fairly cheaply too. But having the extended warranty is nice as well.

coyotefreek · 09-04-2018, 12:35 AM

Kinda would like to know the story behind how a car gets traded in with only 2k miles on it. Personally I like the full leather, black wheels, carbon fiber, and extra year warranty so that would be my preference. Do wish the price was less, not sure if they have movement on that?

Hachima · 09-04-2018, 01:33 AM

Not that it means the 1200 service was was missed for sure but the Carfax on #2 indicates it was.

The Carfax on #1 is the opposite and while it shows the 1200 mile service was done the frequency it was brought back in for inspection is odd without knowing more details on those visits.

mjposner · 09-04-2018, 06:29 AM

All good points. The other factor is what I will get for my trade.

08mojo · 09-04-2018, 07:59 AM

Neither, find one with a fixed roof!

Price now 71K. tempted.

Darth One · 09-06-2018, 08:51 PM

Nice. Tell the Vista guys you'll pay their price but they gotta CPO it at their expense. See if they bite

What did they say about the 1200 mile service? Was it late or has it even been done at all yet?
