Hi, I need help in buying my next car. I am going to purchase either car as used, but I cant make up my mind. I have 2 in mind that are located in my area. I am going to give you the description of each so you can help me in deciding.
1. 2008 Volkswagen R32 with 6K miles. It looks super clean and is being offered by a dealer as a certified pre-oned car for 26K (negotiable obviously).
2. 2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6MT with 14K miles on it, also being offered as a certified preened car. This one looks very new, but with some stress noticeable on the seats. This one goes for 28K (negotiable aswel).
Both cars are super quick and sporty, probably the infiniti is a bit quicker 5.8 sec to 60 compared to 6.0 of the R32.(according to car and driver)
My concern is in the depreciation of the car. The G35 is a very common car, and there are hundreds for sale, also there is the new G37, making the resale value of the G35 lower. Moreover, inifnity is always updating their model line , which makes the car decline in value.
On the other hand, the R32 seems to hold value very good and there are only 5000 in the U.S ( 3 for sale in my area). The car has a certain "cult" status, making it cooler some how. Aslo, probably still 2 or 3 more years until the MkVI R32 makes it to the U.S.
I would have to trade the car model 2007 vs 2008 and higher millage 14K vs 6K, since the G35 was a more expensive car when new
I know it's lots of info, but i'm very confused on my next car purchase.
Thanks,
Daniel
