Default Which would you buy?

2001 supercharged + 2k in suspension upgrades or 2004 stock?

Both around 50k mileage and same price.

What's your favorite flavor? I've never had coffee ice cream.





BTW, to the OP, imo, I'd go with the '04 AP2 just because it's most likely been less abused than the '01 AP1 SC'd, especially since the AP2 is most likely entirely stock. Idk.

Eh, that's a hard one.... Carfax, profile the owners, then decide. If the 2004 was owned by a 70 year old lady that didn't let the engine vtec, go for it!!!

If the AP1 is in good condition and well taken care of I would get that. I would make sure it's had the banjo bolt upgrade done as that is a big no no to go FI without doing that. I would do a compression test on the AP1 as well to make sure nothing big is wrong with the engine.
In general the superchargers don't really wear the engine too much more than stock if it's not beaten on extremely hard.
