2014 Non-PP vs 2012 PP

Hi everyone,

I'm in the market for a white C63 and I've been looking for one that has the P30 or P31 package. I've read that these cars are very reliable as I plan on putting 25k mi/yr on the vehicle. I definitely don't want it stranding me on the side of the road as I've had my fair share of troubles. I've found two good examples near me. Need y'alls opinion on which one would be better to get:

1) 2014 non-performance pack:

https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/check...GF7HBXEA956606

This one is for sale for $33,990 and has some tasteful upgrades. It currently has 37,966 miles. KBB fair market is: $29,462 - $32,617

2) 2012 performance pack:

https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/check...GF7HB7CA686523

This example is $31,400 with 52,937 miles completely bone stock. The 2012 is priced a little high as KBB has the fair market range of $26,887 - $29,512.

Which would be a better buy? Any leeway in negotiating perhaps?

Buy the newer 2014 model and just put a tune on it.

do that if you don’t want a LSD.
I would go with the 2012 If you can get it for no more than 30k.

Both have LSD
2014 has power passenger seat and parktronic (didn't see it on the '12)

I'd go with the 14 model hands down

Both look really nice, but the 14 is priced much better and has a few extra options, just missing P30 but if you are going to tune it, then both will have the same power after tuned, you are just giving up the red calipers and carbon spoiler mostly at that point and saving some money on a 2 year newer with less miles. If you could get the 2012 under 30k then I would say then it would be just personal preference.

Then there's the debate on internals of the motor.....
We all know how that goes
