If you were buying a used car . . .

which would you choose??? hmmm

A. Perfect color, 14k miles, aight price

OR

B. Aight color, 30k miles, $3000 less than A, PLUS navigation system

Otherwise, the options are the same on both.

Those of you saying the cheaper one, keep in mind that lower miles ALSO means that it's covered by the factory warranty longer. So, realistically speaking, you could end up with a single repair that nixes the $3000 savings. Oh, and I'm talking about a Benz here, notoriously prone to repairs. hmmm

Car A definitely looks better. And for a car like that, looks actually matter, I think. It is a luxury car by its very nature, not necessarily a practical investment ton get from point A to point B.

But how does someone in poverty afford that?! Americans... shake wink

In Texas, we have a special program that provides assistance to cute, single, child-free females wanting to purchase luxury cars. It's called No Hoe Left Behind. geek

I left a few hoes behind a long time ago....

A is cute though! But I'm still cheap. I also don't buy models prone to repairs. I will say my car has been deliciously low maintenance since I bought it....woot!

These type of cars tend to be more tempermental, goes with the territory. Fucking Europeans! pout

But it is cute, huh? I think I'ma jump on this one, plus it's priced right for the miles.

For me it would depend on if I had the extra $3000 just lying around. If you have it and it is spare money (you're not sacrificing something more important) then why not get the black? If not...that's another, longer, story.

Go with color over price.

Hell, my last car was purple. lol

I sat in an orange Camaro that was cheaper, but I couldn't do it.

"Cybergray Metallic" was my first choice, so I paid a little more. biggrin

A girl of your swagger needs a sharp lookin' car....which means Car A....Car B looks more "practical", which is not what you need.

I'm a big believer in lower miles too.

Navigation is cool, but you can buy one for less then $200 now.

Plus, it's almost Cowboy blue. thumbs up!

And, probably the best reason for you to buy it, the young'en's will love it....boxed

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I could get with that yellow one. I'm not big on sports cars b/c they're a little smallish for me, but them Camaros (Camaroes?? confuse hmmm) are purrrrty mushy

I graduated bitches!!! 12-19-09 woot! dancing jig

The less expensive option. You can get that car a new paint job and the more expensive car is just as likely to need repair.

Edit: I swear I'ma start photo-cappin' all my posts! confused lol
