New or Preowned 997 C2?

I'm finally ready to buy my 997 C2 and am having a hard time deciding between new and preowned. I obviously like the savings in $$$ on a pre-owned, but like the fact that I know the complete history of a brand new one. Is it worth the savings or should you go with a brand new model if you can afford it? Thanks in advance.

dude - get his car with the cup aero kit. Nothing looks better IMO on the 997. Except of course the GT3

How do you account for the pre-delivery mileage on the new car?
