Hi, I am going to buy a pre-owned coupé F-Type. I like the grey color and found these two cars in my area:
- May 2017 F Type, V6 340CV RWD, storm grey+black pack, ONLY 5.600 km (about 3480 miles). This car is virtually as a new one, no scratch, always washed by hand, never got rain, etc. It has no visual pack (panoramic roof).
- December 2016 F Type 380CV AWD, storm grey+black pack, 56.850 km (35.320 miles). This car presents normal wear and tear, so signs due to automatic washing, some small scratches on the body and rims. Nothing terrible, but the previous owner used it as is primary car. There is panoramic roof on this one.

The problem is that I was looking for AWD as first choice, but I am very doubtful because of the (I think almost unique) opportunity of purchasing a car (the RWD) so well kept and little used. The price is very similar. What do you think?

 

The V6 RWD is a great car. However, the 380HP AWD is likely better outfitted (it’s an S?) The 340HP RWD might have smaller brakes, no active exhaust, no active dampers, etc.

Both can be bumped to 415HP with a tune, or 450HP with a pulley+tune, if that interests you.

 

Yes, it is an S. Regarding active exhaust, both cars have this feature.

 

The S should had a mechanical LSD. The open diff on the base model is one of the reasons I went for the S.

 

So the sound is expected to be different between the two models?

 

LSD refers to Limited Slip Differential, which is unrelated to the exhaust note. The switchable exhaust can make the S louder, but whether it's the same as the base when set to Quiet, I don't know. I highly recommend driving the different versions before buying!
