Choosing between 2 identical G Sedans

I am going to purchase my new G tomorrow and the dealership has 2 cars exactly how I want it. Besides the obvious like driving both cars and looking at the miles on the cars, is there anything I should look for when choosing the right one?

For example, have 05 owners noticed something after the purchase that they did not notice before? Rattles, the way the seat is sewn, anything?

I can't wait till morning!!!!!!!

Repeat after me: Eeny meeny miny mo.

The stuff that will really mess you up can't be see with the naked eye anyway. I might look at the paint quality and see if one is a little less orange peely than the other.

Only thing I would look for is mileage and paint imperfections (probably due to bad luck on test drives). But I would almost certainly take the lower-mileage vehicle since there's not much else to consider.

Low miles and how long the car has been on the lot - usually can be determined by the inspection sticker...

Also a 'bright light' paint inspection. I prefer bright florescent because it shows everything.

I'd look for obvious interior damage, front and rear. Open and close all compartments, cycle all the vents, run all the accessories, and see if there is anything you like more in one than the other.

Either way, congrats on the new G. You're gonna love it no matter which one you choose.

It would seem that you have an enviable situation. If it were me, I'd check the rides from stem to stern for flaws. and of course the build date.
