Default Someone explain why....

I'm looking at two cars right now...

First up:

Carfax

Second:

http://hondacarsofmesa.com/Preowned-...oryId=13973847

Carfax
http://www.carfax.com/cfm/ccc_Displa...AP21404T000614

See the significant difference in milage? Yet both are the same price? I know some of you have a lot of experience/and some have even worked at the dealership. So my question is, why would they be listed like this? The black one has had 3 owners and the yellow 1 owner...

I noticed some significant gaps on the black one but it I didn't see any structural disturbances so I don't think it has been in an accident.

It's just odd... I'm leaning towards the yellow because of the 1 owner deal but I figured I'd asked around to why they could list this like they have. ( I've already gone to the dealership and yes those prices are correct and so is the milage. )

Rico,
Thanks a million for everything, my response to the pricing would be that used cars are individualy different, what I mean by that is that it depends what we paid for each unit, but what it really comes to is having the one that you like and it looks like you mght like the black one better right? and as far as the gaps you are talking about I looked at both cars and a new one and I don't see much difference on either one of them and as a matter of fact I remember having delivered new ones with even more of a gap on the sides so what I'm thinking is just a normal part of the fit and finish on the S2000. When would you like to come by and finish the deal?
That's a reply the salesman I'm talking to gave me Salesman is trying hard to get me to buy ASAP h: I haven't even made an offer yet :run:

Yea, it's really confusing why they did what they did :thinking:

I'm going to try and go back this weekend to see if they'll take my deal for the yellow Going to check out another Black S2K at another Honda dealership before I go to this one though :rick:

i seriously bet that the yellow one is more simply because its yellow, and had one owner. sadly color can strongly affect vehicle value

sounds like something is fishy with the blk one.

"but what it really comes to is having the one that you like and it looks like you mght like the black one better right?"

im sure you mentioned to him that you like the yellow one but hes pushing to sell the blk one. hmmmmm......
