option 1 for sure

i'd go for the IP..

from 2005-2007, the difference in value would be a couple thousand.. the '07 would be more reliable since it's low mileage and newer..

Im into FI cars and having 3 in the past that i built from stock, it can be very expensive. If you look, both cars are worth atleast $19K - $24K stock and each car has near $50K invested, so I think both cars are worth their going price. Not to mention each car has less than 10K miles on the build.

I look at it like this, I pay about $10K more than a pre-owned stock G and get a G with a built motor, TT kits, Volks, BBK and much more

oh yeah i know.people have their preferences..thats why i said imo..

update:

2005 - $31,900 final offer
2007 - $35,000 final offer

I think with the difference of $3000 I have made my choice

2007 vs 2005
10k miles vs 23k miles
3k miles on built/turbos vs 13K on build
better resale value
better loan value
smooth idle vs 1300RPM idle
$3.5K sound with nav vs stock with no nav

option 2 is the easy choice with that brakedown you just did

1st one then just get rid of that nasty a$$ stillen bumper

I'd go for option 2. I love I OB but lately I've been thinking how nice it would to have an IP.

haha couldnt agree with you more.....

I love the black, and nothing looks as sick as a black car with a fresh wax.

Can you get sound clips of both so we can hear how they sound?

They sound like any another G with a turbo kit, the built motor doesnt really change the sound of the car all that much.

I like both colors, so for me its more about parts used and mileage/price/year/value

Looks like you are going to go for the white one then.

I think #1 is a better deal.

Im leaning that way, just not sure if I like that fact the he took out the FCON

Really, why do you say that? For $3000 more you wouldnt get a new car with less miles on both car and built motor plus an elite sound system with nav.
