Desperate car choice
Question, really need some help and input.
If you were buying for yourself 2016 RS 2.0, 57k miles, 2 owner, babied, no known motor failure, all the creature comforts, oil done by owner, been run on E85 with flex fuel and a stage 2 OFT tune. Will be removed and reflashed to stock if I were to buy. Or 2013, 27k miles, 1 owner, babied, potential for valve spring failure (it’s not a recall car but… 2013’s amiright), no creature comforts, oil done by technician. Total cost difference is $2400 including insurance. |

Where do you live? I live in California and it won’t let me renew my registration until the recall was done. I did it and was really nervous at first since I babied my car but it was fine. What’s the price for each? |

Yeah, just add 2000$ to the value of any car, and thats the market right now. So RS 2.0 with all the goodies in the interior, or 2013 with none of the goodies with money to spare for a valve spring replacement.

overpaying for a car you want is just asking for buyers remorse later when you attempt to keep it, and realize just how much you overpaid, and it quickly becomes a boon to the enjoyment of the car itself.
