Hello Everyone -
This is my first post here. I was going to buy a Camry - then test-drove the 2016 M6 and fell in love. I am coming from a 2006 Elantra -which have had for ten years. The largest Mazda dealership here has a Black / Sand - 2016 iTouring with Bose package - new for $24,710. Unfortunately - I have a very negative customer experience with them - and will not buy from them. Another dealership - has offered a CPO (Loaner) - 2016 Crystal Blue iTouring / Sand - with a bit over 3,000 miles for $19990. Unlike the first dealership - they have a VERY limited number of M6s in stock. In order for me to have more options - I will have to travel several hours away. I keep my cars for a long time - and put just about 6,000 miles on them a year.
1. The Blue is closest to my budget - but - I really wanted the moon roof package.
2. A dealer 5 hours away has the same Black car above - CPO for $22,900 with 2,500 miles - It would be a chore to get there - but I could fly - then drive back.
3. I was not much impressed by the 11 speaker Bose setup - I really just wanted the moon roof.
4. I have read a lot about road noise in the M6 - and that the 2017s have significantly less of it. That has me thinking - "To hell with budget, go get the 'better' car." Again - doing that will me traveling a few hours away to get the best deal on a car.

Questions -
1. Is the 2017 really so much quieter than the 2016?
2. As a first-time Mazda owner - what would you do?
Thanks -
