Unhappy need help: Which one to get

hello everyone from the ISF forum, i really need help to make this decision for my ISF
after one month of search, i finally found a 08 mica red ISF( the color i always want ), it was origionally told 50 miles on the car, but it end up to be 330 miles on the car when the broker double check for me.( they said it's dealer trade milage, not test drive mileage)
The auto broker also found a white one for me, with only about 45 miles on the car, and it is loaded with backup sensor and headlight washer. of course it's $600 more compare to the mica red one...

so, which one should i go for? does 330 miles matter on the new car ? and also, does the backup sensor worth the extra $600 dollars?

thanks everyone for help....

The miles shouldnt matter and to me I would get whichever color or options I wanted. $600 dollars for the headlight washers and parking sensors is a much more expensive option listed on the window sticker so it probably is worth it

Headlight washer can be a pain in the a s s...over spray and water spot.

Good luck.

Headlamp washers are not necessary here in CA. Like mentioned above, they just make a mess when they're used. Being this is a 60k + car, get the car and the color you want. In the end you wont regret your decision.

Ask them to throw in the "Lexus" extended warranty. 330 miles is usually demo miles or trade miles. The car is still considered new if it has never been titled or registered.

Get the color you want- miles are nothing either or you are getting full factory warranty just make sure there no paint chips of the red one-
good luck
