Yes, I'd buy both of them.
In YOUR case, yes. But as I said, everyone vote from your own realistic situation. Some people may only be able to afford the list price of the cars and not be able to afford anything beyond that for a long time. The lower mile one may end up being a big risk they can't afford (just ask Dennis ), while the other one, assuming it maybe is being purchased from one of the Tom's, could actually be a better deal for that person.

But yes, for the collector with spare money in the bank, the lower miles is better for them. Espeically if they aren't even going to drive the thing.

Glad to see we are at 50/50, which I suspect is pretty honest with where our membership is at.

Of course that said, buying ANY SVX these days should come with the idea that you may have to pony up some more money at any time for unexpected surprises. The SVX can be a fantastic daily driver, single car you own. But no matter which one you buy, be prepared with the back up cash.
