Which is a better option?
I'm keeping these generic since I don't want to put up pics of the cars or give too
much info, in order to respect the sellers' privacy, etc.
2 SC Coupes
Option 1: 60K fewer miles, needs transmission work, most likely a trans rebuild. Sporadic maintenance records. Interior is good, not great.
Option 2: 60K more miles, extensive maintenance history, interior is excellent, transmission shifts like buttah.
Negotiated price for both, Option 1 is $5K cheaper.
I will get PPIs on both. There's no rust on either, no body damage, etc. Exterior condition is basically the same for both.
The way I'm doing the math the $5K discount will go to a transmission rebuild. So essentially these are the same price. So the real question becomes, does 60K more miles offset the better interior and better maintenance? For most cars, the answer would be no way. But for classic cars, I always hear mileage doesn't matter as much as condition and maintenance. So what say you all?
