The grey car is one owner & garage kept. Not much information on the silver one since it's dealer owned. I would just capture savings on the bottomline, but travel some 4 hours roundtrip to get it.
The silver looks pretty solid - makes the lines and body stand stronger and the appearance of the car to look more metal. The grey looks just as sharp but the chrome stands out stronger with it. uuggg. Pathetic I know
Im kinda leaning on the grey one since it has lower mileage, 1 owner, and the difference in payment is so minimal. The silver one just gives me some leverage to haggle and it does have that excellent shine to it.
Both look great, but the SSB is a bit easier to clean, dirt and fine scratches hide better, and the slightly cheesy silver painted plastic window surround, side strakes, and door handles blend nicer. I think the SSB is slightly more rare. Can't go wrong either way. Man, I can't believe how far the prices have fallen on these cars. You've found some great deals!
