wow - not at all the responses i was expecting! I agree with the fact that the S will hold better value. the 2009 to 2012 S version are hard to come by but i think it is a matter that the cars are still new. The Newer S version of the 2014 are 10K more than non S - no matter what color or mileage. Is 10K to get a bump in HP and Torque in the newer models worth it? Cant afford it anyway. My wife told me to get out a couple months ago so just looking for a fun toy. The yellow car makes a statement...I agree.

Damnit - going to go flip a coin. I do like the refinement and the fact the 2014 is newer with hopefully less hassle. It is a fairly safe choice. the silver car has 8,000 miles on it. The yellow car (FYI listed a speed yellow so that is where I am coming up with the color. all the other pics show it in my opinion as speed yellow - regardless...IT IS A LOT OF YELLOW) is in need of a brake job, fluid flush, etc. I can try to work all that into the price but literally they are $2K different (that is if i can beat the guy down a couple grand...if not they are the exact same price. I already beat the silver one down to my comfort zone).

Decisions, Decisions
