Would you take a 2018 with 900 miles for the same money as a 2019 with 14k miles? Is the gen 2 engine worth the premium over a nicer and mint 2018 with 13k less miles? Thanks!

Tough call. I wouldn't have a problem with the 14k miles, depending on the condition of the car and how the miles were applied. You have more questions to ask.

Yea the 2019 doesn't look like it was taken care of properly. Wear on the driver-side bolster, stained rear seat (Behind driver) and the air filter is filthy (I know not a big deal but it plays into how the car was treated). It's actually the cheapest 19 for the miles available at $61k.

The 2018 is mint in and out, nothing I can point out to be honest. I just wanted to know despite the condition of the 19 if the Gen 2 engine is really that great of an upgrade. I don't plan on tracking the car often (maybe 1-2 per year).

I'd take the better condition car, personally. If there is an extended warranty, is something else I would ask.

Thanks for the input, there is ford extended warranty available as the 18 has warranty until July of 2022.

When was the 2018 built/what is the Chassis #?

It would depend on the build date of the 18. The later builds got revised piston ring packs. I probably wouldn't touch an 18 with a late 17 build date. Have to be from April 2018 an on. The build date can be found on the car frame on the driver side.

Good point, if that's a late build 18 with low miles, nice shape AND you can still get an extended warranty, I think this is a no-brainer.

There was a shifter TSB on late 18 and 19 builds. Other than that 900 miles is still a brand new car if everything is straight.

Yea I've seen this issue but it doesn't seem to be that common, correct me if I'm wrong though.

I don't believe it affected all units.

If you’re gonna keep the car for a while, just get a MGW Gen2 shifter and have a brand new car. I’d take the 18’. What colors are they?

Both are Race red. One has white stripes, the other has no stripes.
