Which GD?
#22

There are two GDs for sale in my area; I'm seriously considering buying one. It will be my DD but will be modded.
1. 2007 Blaze Orange Metallic, 31.5k miles, asking $12.5k
2. 2008 Storm Silver Metallic, 10.5k miles, asking $15.8k
Both are sport 5MT (the only way I'd even consider). Both are one owner, Carfax verified. Both appear to be in great shape, presumably elderly driven.
My current EK coupe has 203k miles and my brother also has a Acura CL with 177k, so with high mileage isn't a big deal to me (not that 30k is high). And since the GD has been for sale all over the world prior to 07 I'm not worried about first year glitches and whatnot. Does anyone see a reason to pay a ~$3k premium for the 08?
A GE is also a possibility, but I sort of have an affinity for the GD.

Assuming they are both equal conditionsof ownership, the 07 will yield less depreciation over the long run, which you seem to do.
The 07 depreciated 142 per thousand miles; the 08 114 per 1000 miles.Therefore if the conditions of the two cars were equal I'd take the 07. Otherwise, I'd take the one that a competent mechanic said was the better condition car.
