Downtown 300 11'-16'.
« on: May 24, 2016, 03:31:53 AM »
I'm looking to save a little $$ by buying used. 

can anyone tell me here what are the differences between the years?  when i was car shopping last year, i found that 2011 was the first year of the latest model and the years following it had just minor aesthetic changes.

i think read somewhere in 2015 the seat changed. 

Any changes in the instrument cluster. i sat on a 2013 on sat and i liked it. 

i have found a 2013 with 4k for $2500 owner  but then i also found a 2014 with 85 miles (not a typo) for $3500 at a dealer.  i'm sure there is some wiggle room,  but even if they sell it to me at 3000 with taxes.  it'll go up to $3300.   $800 difference is paying off the insurance for a year,  giving top case,  and lots of gas!!!!

Are there any Downtown users that switch to a BV350?  Would you do it again? 

I also found a bv350 with 3800 miles for $3600 from an owner.

i think i would like the BV350 more,   but i'm scared that it will be hard to find parts for it and what happens when it needs repairs.

All years the same.
