| Newbie VRS question As I said in the newbies section, I will be looking for a VRS soon. Am I better off going for an earlier one with less miles (2001 with 60k lets say) or a newer one (2004 with 90k for example?) |

| Re: Newbie VRS question I would go for the newer one personally. Corrosion on older cars and also things like rubber parts disintegrating can occur in the older ones, also the newer one has been used often where as the older one could have been laid up for a while which can also cause probs. Also a newer car looks better on the drive.
