Default What to buy?

I was wondering what you would do if you had a choice for 2 identical cars at the same price, one is right off the truck but is 978 miles away. The other is new but has 60 miles on it and is 270 miles away. Give me your thoughts. Thanks

60 miles is not very much on a new car BUT it depends on how those miles were put on. They may be gentle miles but on the other hands, have you read some of the posts on this board about how some people test drive these cars? I wouldn't touch one of those with a 10 foot barge pole. See if you can "read" something into what the salesman tells about how those 60 miles came about. It also depends on if they are willing to discount for those 60 miles.

Get one off the truck, is what I'd do. The less miles driven, the better, I say.

I wanna be the one who drives all of the first 600 miles on my new S2000. Those 60 miles
sound like test drives to me; I can just imagine how it was driven by some people... and some of not good.

I bought mine with 1. 3 miles on it. For all practical purposes, a virgin S2000.

Ask the dealer how much of a discount will you get on the used car.
