NMF, Deal 1 is an absolute no-brainer. Very similar sized dealerships, so I'm really surprised in the price difference. Both are bringing right around $15.5k at the auctions (plus about a $400 auction fee), so the thing is basically just marked up 1800 bucks above wholesale. In this market, that's a deal. I wouldn't worry about the lack of service records. I think Toyota's have a 5yr/60k powertrain warranty on them, and those service records a lot of time will only show up if you bring the car to certain service shops. With the additional options, I'd say there's maybe a couple hundred dollar difference. And that's even iffy considering black>bronze/gray. ETA: Carfaxes in general, are junk. Completely unreliable for anything other than telling you if a vehicle has a branded title or an odometer discrepancy. And that is supposed to be disclosed on the Wisconsin Buyers Guide located in every car.
