IMO unless the higher mileage one shows a material difference in condition like tracking, or interior shows some wear, I would just go for the one that tugs at your heartstrings. The one that caught your eye. These cars should be very reliable/durable to the extent that an additional 3.5k miles shouldn't make a difference. These cars are for enjoyment so get the one you think will make you smile and enjoy the most!!

I actually have already put a deposit on this car but I still have some time to think this trough and make sure I pick the right one for me, hence my tribulations

Yes but the extra $10K is still kind of eating at my brain which is why I am asking for advice

the car is pretty unique but its hard to tell without seeing it in person
and yes, to your point, the hood is just exposed CF compared the regular painted CF hood so even though I like it I am still like "its just looks"

‘yup it’s a higer spec car there lies the value, and in the end. It’s 5% if that helps. (:

I completely agree! The good thing is, I am going to go pick it up but its a 700 mile drive for me so if I go it will be do the paperwork and get the car home so if I don't like it when I am there I can always cancel
as of now I am thinking I will like it as I have not seen anything to think otherwise
