Options impact on resale

[Clubracer6]

Have a few used CT5bw’s on the line and having trouble picking. How much impact is there on resale value for things like PDR and the carbon 1 package? I know seats are big, at least for me. Right now I’m down to 3.
A 23 with big miles, but carbon 1, nice seats, PDR, sunroof.
For 7k more a 22, but with a 4th of the mileage, but no PDR or carbon.
And another 10k more a 25 w/ no PDR or carbon. More warranty, really nice seats, but I’m still not in love the with the changes inside and out.

I think it's like an oil thread, everyone has opinions. I'd say the transmission is probably the biggest polarizing option, but I assume you've already narrowed passed that. I'd put CCB top of the list on an individual tastes, then you get down in the weeds on sunroof, CF1/2, and colors that all influence the desirability for a smaller segment of buyers.

My personal decision tree would be the '22 since mileage is the biggest resale detractor all else being equal. I too don't like the '25 refresh, made the car too soft looking and too EV on the inside.

Good points all across. Manual of course. Funny, since I posted this I have put a 4th back in the running since it’s not black like the rest of these. Thanks!

In my opinion the more options the better resale but if you could plot it on a chart the older the car gets the more the options will return value. It’s M6 and then everything else after that.

Not sure if the ‘25 you are looking at has the Precision Package, but performance options are usually sought after in the long term (especially when combined with a manual).
