I'm in a little dilemma. I had found the perfect GT500 for me, only about 5,000 miles, bone stock, and babied all its life, always in a heated garage, etc., for only $32,000. A little pricey considering the year, but it's been completely unmolested. The only issue is that the clutch TSB was never performed due to the car never having any issues. Down the road however, I might have to change it myself if the issue presents itself.
I now saw that qnitro updated his listing on his 2011, and he's now at $34,500, and he replaced his clutch and flywheel. He's at around 33,000 miles.
They're both the same color I want, so that's not an issue. My concern is that because qnitro's wasn't bone stock, he was pushing around 661 RWHP, that the car most likely wasn't babied. His car is now back to mostly stock, but the (most likely) hard miles have already been added.
I originally wanted a 2011, but when I saw the prices they were going for, all about $37,000+, I decided on the '07-'09 model. Now that I found a 2011 at a still obtainable price range, I'm torn!
I guess my question is, is the $2,500 difference worth it, considering the mileage difference and how both cars were driven by their owners?
