Default Buying new car.. Build date

What would you do?

2 offers on the table.

One Vehicle has a build date Jan 2020, but requires some logistics and coin to get delivered.
The other has build date Nov 2019, but comes with metallic paint that the misso is keen on, and is locally available.

First one will cost about $650 more once transport is factored. The other with metallic paint which is an optional extra valued at $540. So we're splittin hairs..

Obviously if we were going to trade, like for like the newer the build date the better. But surely we can negotiate that down the track too. Or in x amount of years time, will maintenance history and general condition be more important than build date? Bloody tough one. Think of the future or support local business and keep the missus happy!

Opinions welcome.
