    Of the two you are describing I would go for the higher mileage car for resale. But a better piece of advice would be to go for the extra $4k and buy my lower mileage, no title problem car!
    Check it out.

    I had someone test drive it this weekend and he commented how different (and better) it was compared to the other 348's he had been looking at.

    Hey Bill, I must admit how beautiful looking this car is in that picture you have (all 348's are beatiful but for some reason the way it looks in that sunset pic)

    cheers

    Thanks!
    I read somewhere that the best time to photograph a car is either at sunrise or sunset, so I generally try to follow that advice.
    My oldest daughter is really hoping I sell the 348. I told her that I can get her a new car if I sell it.
    My other kids and my wife are really hoping nobody buys it.
    I am on the fence. I figure fate will decide it.
    Either way I am happy.
    :)

    You've definitely made the right choice, but I think $36K may be a little high, low $30K's is what I have seen lately but if that car is in great condition, then go for it, stay away from rebuilt titles unless the price is half that.

    If it was between a rebuilt and high miles I would go with the miles. Not adding much here but agree w/ everyone else. Unless you saw the damage and repair yourself.

    Sounds like the masses have spoken. Someone wanted that 90 more than I did and it slipped thorugh, but I will keep my eye out. Maybe I can get a great deal in the Fall... Thank you all again!
