Wow, what a tough decision to make!!

ok, since I sold my tu-tone automatic SSR I have been looking to get another SSR with the 6 speed. I have found a couple that I really like, but I am torn between them. Black one has under 3k miles with extended warranty, and the second one is the Black/Silver tu-tone with under 20k miles. Both can be had for about the same price and have the same options. Which one would you pick if you had the choice?

I would take the black one. It has real low miles and you had a two tone before. An all black vehicle is hard to keep clean though so it really is what you want. Do you miss having a two tone or would you like a solid color this time?

Actually I was all set to go ahead with the black one and the tu-tone came on the market. 6 speed is a must and they both are. If I got the black one, I might customize it with silver on top and black on the bottom, so the reverse of what I had. Or maybe some silver stripes on the hood. The SSR has such a large canvus to work with the possibilities are endless. Down the road, the tu-tone will probably be worth more, but the way I drive (1-2k miles a year on each one of my vehicles) the low mileage one is the way to go. I'll have to sleep on it I guess.

2 tune 6 speed is a rare animal. It gets my vote.

I would buy the one with low miles and just make it your own...Why buy one with 20,000 miles!

Well, the best color choice is obviously UltraViolet.

But since that is not an option for you at this time, I would suggest the two-tone.

Then again, your idea of 'creating' a two-tone from the black sounds really good, too.

Oh, decisions, decisions.

I would go for the Low Mileage for all practical reasons. Unless the 2 tone was substantially cheaper.

Maybe some metallic silver ghost flames? That would keep with your black/silver theme.

I missed it!

I guess I missed the Thread when you sold your SSR. Was wondering why?

I would go for the Low Miles and Warrantee. Is either one a FPR???? That may be a factor too.

I actually never started a For Sale thread. I had someone make me an offer I could not refuse plus I really wanted a 6 speed so that is why I sold it.
