I’m in the market for a GT350 and have been lurking around this forum for the past few days. Was going to buy an E92 M3 but then test drove a GT350 and fell in love. My budget is $40k, $42k max. I could afford a more expensive car but have aggressive investment goals and am not keen on financing the car. I want a large screen so I’m either looking at a 2016 tech pack or a higher mileage 2017 at this price point.
-I’ve read up on the tech pack vs track pack threads. Seems like if you aren’t tracking it a lot, there is not a need for the coolers. I plan on tracking only 2-3 times per year. If I start tracking more, I could add the parts at a reasonable cost. Is this all correct? I test drove a 2016 tech pack and loved the non Recaro seats, so no Recaro’s is not a deal breaker for me.
-Is there a concern with the reliability of 2016 tech packs because they are missing some of these components? Or are they similar to track pack and 2017+ reliability in terms of daily driving?
-Should I worry about buying a car with over 40k miles?
-What’s a reasonable price (as of February 2021) to pay for a 2016 tech pack or high mileage 2017? I test drove a 2016 tech pack with 24k miles, dealer was asking $45k and said he would do $43.5k. Not going to buy this car because it’s black and I’m sick of owning black cars. Dealer also knew nothing about the car. Definitely would want to buy private party if I can.
