I might want to add that i don't plan to baby the car. It will be a third car but won't hesitate to put miles on it.

if you're going to run it then 11k miles << 30k miles. As a third car, even with 8-10k/yr after three years the white car will be mid 30k miles whereas the other one will be 50+k miles.

That future 30k mile car will be worth more then the future 50k car, easier to sell and should have lower maintenance expenses.

Yep. Unless you want the CPO, and it has value to you, they look pretty much the same except mileage. Advantages were pointed out up thread on the lower mileage car.

Color is highly personal and up to you; I would never have a white car but that's just me. Lots of folks like them here in FL. You mentioned ventilated seats being a priority, does that mean you are concerned about interior heat with a black interior? (I would). A white car would seem to have less thermal take-up from the sun, no? In that case, with a lower mileage, the white car might be a better pick.

Ventilated seats work well enough to get them but both cars have them so it is non-issue. I would go with the White car since you said you like them both and the mileage difference is quite a bit!

Both are nice - White with less miles (assuming same final price) is a little blah to my taste, but this is my personal view. However, the lower miles will be a plus. The Grey one looks a lot better and is CPO, which is a great plus, but has the higher miles, So if you are concerned about resell in 3-5 years(?) and if you will drive a lot hitting 50K miles will be a negative. However, if the mileage (now or in the future) is not a concern, the grey one would be my pick.

Isn't the white car a manual while the gray car is PDK? That should make your decision right there.

Seems easy - if you like both colors equally well, then get the one with lower mileage.

If you like one better than the other, then get the one you like and don't worry about the mileage.

I am taking white for multiple reasons:
1. it's white (I live in hell...i mean Texas).
2. it's lower miles. to quote someone above: "if you're going to run it then 11k miles << 30k miles. As a third car, even with 8-10k/yr after three years the white car will be mid 30k miles whereas the other one will be 50+k miles.

These cars drop like a rock once it's close to 50K miles (ask me how I know lol). So depending on how concerned you are about future prices and how long you are going to keep it...then low miles should be high on the list.

$75k?! I paid that almost two years ago for my CPO 2017 PDK coupe with 24k miles on a $110k msrp. Those prices feel high to me.

I’ve seen nice NEW T’s for $100k recently. And they are $25k more than my car 2 years and 24k miles ago.

id keep looking or really be pushing on price. It’s almost winter!!

Wow sounds like you got the deal of the century for a car that was relatively new at the time and had depreciated 35k in that short time frame.

Share with us your secret! My guess was you bought that in the winter when prices go down, but that kind of discount was something beyond the normal dip in prices.
