‘12 or ‘14 MR

Hey, all! First time poster long time lurker.

Been saving up for an Evo for the better part of a year and the time has finally come now that my birthday is here. As luck would have it, there are two Evos local to me for sale right now and I can’t decide on which one is my best bet. My options are:

A ‘12 with 9k miles. Dealer can’t say for sure but presumably this has never seen winter (see:salt). Everything stock. Has Fosgate.

A ‘14 with 46k Miles. Everything stock. Was a dd.

I dont plan to do a whole lot to it outside some bolt ons and such. Both are the same price more or less (within $1k).

I’m leaning heavily towards the ‘12 due to mileage and likely never having touched the car eating salt brine in the winter. But, there is a tick in the back of my mind that keeps saying “newer is better.”

I figured you guys would help steer me in the right direction. Thanks!

I would get the '12. Fewer miles on the MR the better. Change the SST fluid and install a Dodson sump as soon as you get it.

'12 with 9k no question (Pending clean PPI). I'm not aware of anything significant that changed between 2012 and 2014.

2012 for sure. 2014 has the "better" touchscreen radio but it's kind of a pile of garbage anyway.

If there is only 1k difference between something with 37,000 miles less, that is a no brainer.

How come the 2012 has such low miles?
