Illyria Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, Just registered to post this, and seeking a bit of quick-ish advice: CAR 1 1999 80k miles PPI done: needs: small exhaust leak fixed, surface rust from control arms cleaned, all fluids replaced (recommended), T belt done at 78k miles BUT in 2010 Road test done by the shop which did PPI Last decade or so maintained by private mechanic for old gentleman so no CarFax records in this period (otherwise Clean CarFax)- car sat for longer periods of time. Pristine interior / exterior Has OEM floor mats still Do NOT like exterior color much 6 spoke chrome OEM wheels (like better) CAR2 1999 118k miles Maintained by former Lexus / Toyota tech, talked to him: recent brakes, VCG, PS pump, T belt/tensioner Interior more worn: crack above wood panel/strip on driver's door (where they all crack) heavy-ish wear on driver's seat side bolster (cracks, dried out, but not yet ripped) No OEM floor mats Driver's side mirror glass has slight delamination MULTI spoke oem chrome wheels ( do not like) relative went and drove car, and it drove well., LOVE exterior color. Price is similar for both cars. AFTER adjustment of price for CAR1 for required maintenance/repairs mentioned above) Both cars garaged in winter, driven only on weekends etc etc Options are identical on both cars ( Both cars bone stock I haven't seen either car in person. Need to travel out of state for both. VERY torn about Low MILEAGE & better interior VS Better COLOR & higher mileage (but also more recent maint by a Lexus tech...) WWYD? Ay advice / feedback on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated Thanks IA Edited November 6, 2023 by Illyria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
