last purchase advice request, i promise - 10/05/03 10:21 AM
Down to 2 x's. Both 2002's, both 27000 miles.
One is a 5 speed supercharged with tow package and alot of aftermarket crap I would simply get rid of. I love that option group, but the vehicle has obviously seen some off road time and looks like its 3 years old (faded and scratches in the plastic trim). 19000 is the offer.
One is an auto SE that looks like it has never seen dirt and could be on the new car lot without being noticed. It is also 1000 dollars more.
My question is, how much do I worry about the type of miles and how much value is lost because of the towing (coleman camper) and well-used condition. Is it true that 1 offroad mileage is worth about 15 pavement miles? Really not sure how much of a deterrent that should be?
