Default Buying an f Type today

So gents I am new to forum and I am purchasing my f Type tomorrow. I am trading in my 14 Gtr for it but I have a choice. A white with red 15 v8r with 19k on the clock for 69k or a 15 vert v8s grey with white for 74000 with 2k on the clock. Dealership is willing to swap to r wheels and put them on the vert, which one would you go for. Need Quick response cause my appointment is at 9 and its it's already 4 in the am. Btw I am located in central nj. I also have a alfa 4c. Btw the vert does not have Performance pck

If you haven't already, Test drive both - good times either way. Vert vs coupe is personal preference. Unless your funding expires tomorrow, take your time and pick the right one for you.
I would let them think you may decide to go to another dealer.
My $.02

Good luck!

The "performance pkg" is not a big deal. You still have standard/dynamic mode selectability. You just wouldn't have the ability to selectively choose which function to leave in normal mode when you are in dynamic mode. Not a big issue since most of us don't program out any of the features anyway.

I'd go for the 'vert. Don't worry about the Performance Package. I leave everything "ON," anyway. You might, however, push a little harder on the price delta. It's end of season for ragtops. (That's how I got my last bit of price concession.)

Thanks for all the feed back. So you guys think 74000 is still to high where should I be in your opinion

Where are you located? That will have a substantial impact on the price. Nationwide, it looks like $70k is a typical asking retail price, and $67k is a typical private seller asking price (low mileage cars). SoCal prices on a vert much stronger than Boston this time of year.

That's the most unusual looking "coupe" I've ever seen. Otherwise, it's gorgeous! Congrats

Congratulations, very nice car. With 2000 miles on the clock it still could be on original oil fill, so I recommend getting your oil changed right away unless there is documented recent oil change.

Hey James,
A few years ago, I did a Race Deck tile floor for a customer. Below is a poor picture taken a couple of minutes after we finished (and before we mopped it). Reasonably easy d.i.y. 1 day project.
