My 13 has had a few problems including a bad engine. Spend the extra $2k and get the newer car. It's financed anyways right? What's another $2k? Like 10$ on your payment?

No not financed they would be brought out right.

If you have the cash then fuck it. If you don't then just wait for another $2k

Have a mechanic look at both. If not too worried about resale ....I would choose the 2013 with fewer miles. The cars are essentially the same. the difference in price could be pocketed for future repairs or for some neat mods now.

Then buy a new one if you're gonna pay cash for it. Just my 2 cents.

Probably doesn't want payments and doesn't have enough to buy a new outright. Just guessing.

Buy a new car if you intend to keep it 10+ years. If you are going to replace in a few years, buy 2015.

O86O86 · 09-26-2016, 11:56 PM

What Month is 2015?

The 2013 will have the EPS Recall, 2015 Cars built passed March are OK

why? · 09-27-2016, 12:18 AM

whichever one you can negotiate down to the lowest price? Try and get them bidding against each other.

Have you driven each of them? They drive quite differently as the suspensions were changed between the two years. The 13's are much more tail happy.

$28k or $30k is a lot of cash. IMHO what's a few thousand more to buy a new one. I bought mine new for 30k.

Car 1
2013 model
26xxx kms
$28k

Car 2
2015 model
46xxx kms
$30k

Your input would be much appreciated as I'm not sure which to move on, they are both in immaculate condition its just a matter of choosing. I would like to buy one very soon.

Thanks

A new GTS goes for around $40K AUD
You can get a new GT for around $30K AUD

I would get a brand new GT if you can live without a few GTS options(17" wheels, SATNAV etc).

Just my 2c

Thanks for the reply. I'm buying the GTS for the options, even though I can swap out the head unit, push button start and keyless entry are worth having to me.

Fair enough, they are nice to have and you can get a great deal on a used GTS now.

Good to see you are choosing a manual

I'd go the newer one though...
