Need help with purchase decision
#12
Thanks for the input Derf00. BTW the HP rating is actually210 for the 4.0 and 305 for the 3.7. The new V6 has more power than the old V8!
I have looked at 6 2013-14's, all turned out to be ex rentals. I saw 4 carfax, 2 from Hawaii, 1 from Nevada, and one from Arizona. It's like SoCal is the dumping ground for the rental companies gearing up for next years release of the new model!
Oddly enough, 3 of them are identically optioned Gotta Have It Greens, and 2 have sequential VIN's
I know what you mean about black cars, I have had a few. The Race Red car already sold. I guess that's a popular color.
Any other input?

280 TQ vs 315 TQ in the V8. = V6 slower than the V8

I should have been clearer. VINs are issued sequentially weeks before the car is built, but that doesn't mean the cars are built in order of VIN sequence.
The second VIN is invalid; the check digit (the 9th character) should not be the same. I think that one should be 1ZVBP8EMXD5239608.

You are also correct on the second VIN. I cut and pasted it wrong, causing the check digit to be wrong. Checking both of those VIN's you will see they are identically optioned. Maybe that's a common production or ordering thing.
