Long time user, infrequent poster. I have a 2001 LX 470, and a 2003 GS300 both I bough new. Both built like tanks, but the GS is showing significant wear and is in need to replacement.

This is more of a philosophical question, so I will not bore you with details. But I am in a dilemma as which to get.

Car A: Would you buy a 'used' car (sitting on dealers lot for a couple years, 100 miles on odo, but put in 'service' 3 months ago with LCPO warrantee on top minimal options except for premium package, Liquid platinum.

Car B: same model year as Car A, but 22000 miles fully loaded and $2000 less. Car B is fair market value, nothing special about the price but also LCPO. Black

I was tempted with Car B because I like all the options, but I also like a good deal and Car A is essentially new, but has less options (not essential but I would like ML, Lux package, etc). .

Neither color does anything for me (I like meteor blue over those).

Decisions decisions, but opinions are welcome as to which one you would chose and why.

Car B: Mainly because of the reliability of these cars. I bought a slightly higher mileage GS to save some $$$ and have not regretted my decision. I have 47k miles now (bought it CPO last May w/43k miles)

Saving the money now allows you to pocket your dollars for anything extra you may want to add. Since both are CPO and Car B is fully loaded, it just makes the most sense to me.

BTW: Great choice in vehicles - that GS300 you have still looks good on the road to me

Interesting that a car such as Car A has been sitting there for a few years. Curious why they were not able to sell.
