987 to 991.1, which car?

Looking at trading my '12 Cayman S for a CPO 991. I have my eye on two cars. both listed just short of $130k new.
'15 C4S 11k, Dark blue metallic with black standard interior. PASM sport, PDK, SC, PDLS, Park assist, glass sunroof, PSP, 14-way seats, Prem+, Bose, SD wheel.
Would have 4 1/2 years warranty. $97k

'13 C2S 24k. Agate Grey with Black/Plat grey two tone interior. Same options as above, minus the sunroof and Park assist, + Sport Exhaust, PDCC, rear wiper, folding mirrors, Carbon interior package, center console in carbon, wheels painted platinum, Adaptive sport seats with Prem package+
would have 2 years warranty for $79k.

I'm leaning towards the '13 due to the great mix of comfort and performance options. Thoughts?

Sounds like both are pretty reasonable. I think the 15 might be a slightly better deal now, but might succumb to more depreciation than the '13 would. It'll cost you more up front and in the long run on that 2015, but you'll end up with in my opinion, a nicer car.

The options on that '13, especially the full leather and sport exhaust have me leaning towards that one. I can always buy a warranty when the CPO expires. I did figure I'd get back much of the differential for the new car on the back end. I'm going to look at both Saturday and then make the decision.

porsche_love is an unknown quantity at this point
I see you are another e9X M3 defector...I would go for the 13. You don't take as much hit on depreciation, nicer options, less miles driven annually, and overall a better value etc.

Thanks for all the help. I got wind of another salesman there showing that car today, so I put a deposit on it. Can't wait until Saturday! I will miss my S though, very unique color for an S. Problem was I couldn't hide lol.

Picked up the '13 yesterday, I'll miss my Cayman, but this car is so much nicer in most respects, except perhaps steering feel and balance
