2013 Raven with 4,500 miles. Scion Certified, AUTOCHECK CERTIFIED for $21,700
http://www.timshortdodge.com/certifi...f1073a8a9e.htm
or
2013 Raven with 15,000 miles. NOT certified. for $20,000
Both cars have the exact the same features.
Its probably a dumb question, im sure everyone would go for the certified. But just seeing what you guys say.

Both cars are in different states. Im not exactly sure how certified works. it has 7 year warranty but factory warranty is 6 years anyways? I do realize that it went through scion inspection, which is good

I'd go with the lower mileage car, walk into the dealership on Dec. 31st hopefully during a snowstorm and offer $18,000 to start.

I've been talking to many dealers for the past month, I never got any of them to lower below 20,000 (not certified one). I have already talked that dealer down from 22,159. They would not accept my offer of 21,000 but settled for 21, 700. Do you really think I can find a certified FRS with that low mileage for under 21,000? I am looking for Raven and manual, so it makes it a bit harder

If the dealer doesn't wake up, buy a leftover 2013 new for not much more using Toyota.com inventory search then fly and drive home.

humfrz · 12-11-2013, 12:05 PM

You might consider trying to find a local (for both places) FR-S/BRZ owner (try the local forum sites) and ask him/her to drop by and check them out for you.

I'd go with the certified one.

RojerLockless · 12-11-2013, 12:07 PM

I got my new 2013 with 10 miles on it for 22,800 and that was with the LED's and trunk mat. Raven M/T so I'd go that way.

Tagera · 12-11-2013, 12:08 PM

Certified.

i will still go with certified

Dadhawk · 12-11-2013, 02:44 PM

I would go with the certified one, but not because it is certified, but because it is the one with the lowest mileage and the longest remaining warranty. If the "certified" was reversed, I'd still buy the same car.

liquidimports · 12-11-2013, 02:45 PM

Unfortunately I realized that the certified is an Automatic. It stated "6 speed". in the pictures it shows automatic. I will not be getting it.
However i will continue looking for a lower miles MT Raven in the midwest
