Need help deciding between 2 coupes

There are 2 G35s that I'm looking at right now.

One is a sangretti sand, fully loaded auto 2003 with 57000 miles for 25,500.

The other is a brilliant silver, auto with leather and premium package, with 39000 miles for 23,500. No spoiler.

Basically, I don't care about the navigation. I think what bothers me about the first one is the color and the mileage. It was raining tonight, so it looked very gold. Other times I see it and it looks close to silver. Does anyone have any opinions on the color. Thanks.

GO with the BS, especiallly if you plan on going aftermarket audio. I love our navi but the bose system sucks ***...

The sangretti sand is ok. I'd go with the silver, less miles.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the silver as well. Basically, I feel that it's a better deal, I'm paying 700 or so above trade in value.
My other conflict is that I found a brilliant silver with 22k miles, with same options, along with a spoiler on ebay. It's currently at 17000, and the seller says 21000 or best offer. The car's located in TX, I'm in MA, and don't mind paying for shipping (seller says 400 for anywhere in us). I'm just kinda skeptical about buying a car that far away without seeing it, but the vehicle report came back clean. Anyone have any thoughts on buying on ebay. Thanks.

My bf had a really bad experiance buying a car from ebay. Had a car fax done and everything .. went to pick it up and found out that it had been in an accident with damages almost as high as the price of the car.

To me the BS is the obvious choice.

you dont seem happy with the serngeti color and its more expensive too plus the fact that the nav doesnt mean much..... then its a no brainer!!!

the silver has less miles and is cheaper... the choice is clear... EOD.

hmm i just saw the one youre talking about, everything looks good, but i would fly over there and make sure everything is ok

whatever you do make sure it has warranty, cause this car always has some sort of problem.. i have an 03 and have both window motors, seat, and audio problems...

look at this one...

If you wanna stand out a little bit, get the SS. If that doesn't matter to you, get the BS, it's cheaper and has lower mileage.

Sarangetti Sand didn't come until 2005. You either got the color wrong or that is a very high mileage 05.

You gotta be real careful what you buy over the internet in regards to cars. And just because the car fax comes back clean doesn't mean anything. Somebody told me that carfax only reports damages that come to a certain percentage of the vehicles worth, and it is substantial. So I would never buy from ebay or a private seller without having the car checked out. You dont want to end up paying for lots of fixes and problems because the carfax came back clean. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all of the replies. It was actually a different car on ebay than the link someone posted on this thread. But anyways, I decided to go wtih the brilliant silver with the low miles, that's near me. I visited the car a week ago, and it was in immaculate condition for a used car, I was really surprised at how nice it was. It's been a month long process, which really isnt that bad, but I'm happy I found the car for me.
