Hey, everyone!

I'm looking to join the G club.

I'm a little torn between the aforementioned set of cars. Aside from the gasket issue, are there any others nuances that would dissuade me from the 2k11?

Furthermore, am I able to upgrade the gasket? I only did a few high level searches.

I do plan on going in to aggressively negotiate. Hope to knock prices by 10%.

The 2011 will still have the music box if that makes a difference to you. From the prices/miles posted above it makes more sense to go with the 2013. Better gasket, 2 years less time enduring the elements, and 14k extra miles shouldnt really scare you.

The gasket is $2k labor deep, the only time you will be upgrading it is when you are replacing it.

As the others have said, the 2013 is the better option. However, I would wait around for an S - anyone who bought the sport package will recommend it over an X (if you don't live in an arctic tundra).

Yikes. Okay.

Thanks.

I live in NJ. I really want AWD; however, is the S really that much better. I read about snow tires and S being great. It's also cheaper on the insurance if i go RWD.

Sit in an S before you decide...I thought I wanted an S until I sat in one. The seats are narrow and bolsters stiff. Good if you are under 170lbs or younger than 20. I went with a non-s, the seats were more comfortable IMO.

I'm 5'11 210. Yeah not gonna go with an S.

Had a 11 Sport loved all the features but the lower seat bolster, even after the mod still to tight on the outer thighs. The forward extension was nice but not really needed. Now have a 13 non sport miss the other stuff but not the seats.
