Question Cant decide between two 07's..PLEASE HELP!

I've been looking for a G35 coupe for a couple months and finally have two to decide from in my area.

Option A:

2007 White G35 coupe, Premium, NAV, Sirius, 17" tires, but here's the kicker: 43,200 miles!
I love NAV but dont really need it. this car is everything i wanted but very high miles...


Option B:

2007 Silver G35 coupe, Premium, Aero (19" tires, spoiler, etc), Sirius, 23k miles, but here's the kicker:
Carfax shows it was in an accident and airbags WERE DEPLOYED!
This is a very clean car, low miles and has everything but NAV. but the accident and airbag deployment is scary. This one is $1500 more than Option A...


So please please please provide some input on how serious high miles are and accidents/deployed airbags are...

I'm coming off a lease that is due to be turned in one week from today so lookin to make a decision this week.

Thanks for your input and hopefully i'll be a proud owner of a G by next week!

if mileage bothers you I'd keep looking. Option B isn't an option unless you're getting that car for dirt cheap.

Both in Ohio...

Option B is in better condition than A, but def. asking for $1500 more despite the accident/airbag deployment.

So the mileage for an 07 isnt that big of a deal? Either way i'd have a warranty if anything went wrong and really want a G!

If the airbags deployed chances are there was other damage-front end-so you would need to check into all of that!!!

What are the prices of the 2?

Option A would be the more obvious choice in my opinion. Airbags deploying would probably have to do with a front end problem so check it out. Airbags deploying is no fun, so to be safe I'd stay with A.

Option C - keep shopping. I've looked at two 07 coupes for $22k.

+1 - If its not 100% what you want, keep looking. Dont act like a kid in a candy store (although its probably difficult). You'll be happier in the long run when you find exactly what you want (low miles and no accident)

Definitely keep looking.
When I was looking for a used 05' back in 06' I came across many coupes that ALMOST fit what I was looking for.
Ended up buying a new 06', price diff was very close.
Looking back I am sooo glad I took the time to get what I really wanted.

1 minute of impatience could lead to years of regret and annoyance.

Good point...both of these are UNDER 22k...Pretty confident I could get the White one under $20k which is a very good price i think.

Thanks for the advice guys.
