Default Buying a S2K. Which one of these 2 do YOU recommend!?

I'm torn in two as far as which S2K to buy. I have negotiated with both parties to a selling price of 11400. Not bad, right!? ;-)

- The first is a 2005 model with just 39k miles. It has a rebuilt title. For 10700 I can get it with the factory wheels, but the tires are totally shot. I figure after 500 dollars worth of tires I will have 11200 invested. However, for 200 dollars more, 11400 total, I can and get it with these brand new aftermarket wheels and tires. NOTE*** car is coming with original hood and deck lid.

Here is the car with the black wheels:




Here is the car with stock wheels and original hood and deck lid:



What do you guys think so far?


Now, for the second car. It's a 2004 with 90k miles. CLEAN title. 11400. All black interior. Coilovers ,Volk Wheels.

I would stay away from the rebuilt title. Some insurance co. don't insure rebuilt titles. May have trouble selling the car later on down the road. Don't rush getting into a s2k.

Why is the title rebuilt? Theft? Accident? Thats an importnat difference. If it was theft and they replaced the items stolen you should be fine. If it was wrecked I wouldn't buy it. I can't see the pics you posted but if the second car has a clean title and has been cared for I think it would be a better option becuase of the title. You just have to get it checked out by a mechanic that knows these cars.
