RC 350 to RCF Upgrade Opinions
I currently have a loaded rc350 f sport with around 22k miles,but a dealer near me just listed a RC F that has me wondering.
2015 RCF loaded
75k miles
42k asking price
According to the dealer this was a former press car, the maintenance record is spot on with 5k services all along the way. New tires, and brakes added recently. My question to you all is... is it worth the upgrade to the V8 even though the miles are extremely high? As far as I can see this is by far the highest mileage RCF listed.
Hard to determine it's value but id guess realistically it's around 39k given its mileage. They offered 38k for my RC 350. I don't personally drive all that much less than 10k a year.
What are y'alls opinions? Id love to have the v8, but is it going to last without major faults coming? Is it's value going to continue to plummet? Should i just stick with my 350?
Any words of wisdom would be welcome, thanks in advance.

That is a lot of miles for a 2015, but it makes sense with what kind of car it was. I would definitely not pay that much for it. I'd drive it for fun and if the price is right, get it.

I tried throwing 38.5k for it and that wasn't gonna happen haha. I told them at that point I'll just let them drop the price on their own as it sits on the lot for weeks more than likely.

too much for a 2015 RC-F with that many miles, if you are patient and look around you can find a much better deal. there is a 28XXXm for 46xxxK near Denison. are you referring to the red car in McKinney? or ask them for a 3 yr extended warranty and 2 free services.....

Do your research. According to the KBB, a fully loaded RC-F with 75k goes for $37k and trade-in value at $33k, which usually means its much less.
So no, it is not a good deal.

think about this. after buying that car, you drive it for for 25k miles and the value will drop big time , also the possibility of no one wanting it in the case you need to sell or trade.
i always tell people who make these threads to just save up a bit more. And if it takes too long for you to save enough to get into a decent rc-f, you can't really afford the car in the first place. this is what i would of told my younger self.

So true.
Other priorities in life didn't allow me to get a "nice sports car". Always some SUV, hatchback, and etc.
I waited until I was 43 when I bought a nice AND COOL "first sports car", MB SLK280.
Then I made the mistake of test driving the MB SLK55 AMG a year later and just had to have it. So I bought one. So for a few years we had "his and her" SLKs simultaneously. Subsequently sold the SLK280, but kept the AMG.
Then I waited until 50 when I bought the RCF!!!
I would wait until all things considered are "optimum".

You could always get a CPO which covers maintenance and extended warranties. What's really there to maintain at 75k? it just means they changed the oil, brakes, and tires, which are typical schedules maintenance.

With that mileage if you get it you have to keep it until is ready for the junkyard or just give it away. If you buy it today for 46k I would not give you 30k tomorrow. not worth it
