I have a choice of either 05 with 5k miles or 06 with 13k. Price is same. Which is a better choice? thanks

 

To my knowledge, there were no changes to the model in 06. If all options are equal and they are in equal shape, I would definitely go for the lower mileage vehicle. This way, when you put 10K miles on the car, you would still have a car with relatively low mileage 15K miles instead of 23K miles.

 

I would probably put 1000 miles/year. The 06 has Ceramic brakes and Daytona seats. The 05 is plain. I'll keep it for 3 years. So....

 

Hmmm, I racked up 3000 Km in one month on this vehicle alone. 1000 miles/yr. is not very much. Are they both Corsa Red ? This is the most desirable colour and the easiest to sell down the road. If colours are the same, it's a tough call. Based on the info you've given, you might be better off with the 06 since you won't be putting much miles on it in the 3 years of ownership. It's a year newer and has more options. Make sure the brake rotors are in good shape with no fractures. Replacing those ceramic rotors could be very very very expensive !!!

 

Yeah they are both corsa red. I'm certain that I will only put 1k at most per year. My intuition tells me to go with 06, but just the fact that it has 12k bugs me mentally. Hm....

 

Go with the lower miles, but it also depends on if there both up to date on there services.

 

I settled for a 05 with 4k miles. It's a sliver one though. I got a good deal so I took it. I'm so happy. I will post pics when i take delivery in couple days!

 

i would shy away from a ferrari with over 10K unless you planned to keep it for a long time and the miles didn't bother you. if you looking to resell in a few years, you would have better luck selling one with less than 10K miles as well.

 

Is 10k Miles really considered a lot in the US? You should see some of the cars here in Europe LOL

I would go for the 06. CCBs/daytonas and you only put 1k/yr on it so it still has very few Miles after 3yrs.

 

Congrats and enjoy!!!!!!!
