But I would work on widdling them down on the price of the GXP first.

There might not be as many add on options to the GXP currently, except for the turbo and muffler packages, but the GXP really packs a good punch with the V8 it has. You lose the HP with the Comp G, but gain a bit more stability in the car and you can tweek the engine a bit more than the GXP's. Both are going to have run Premium Gas so that really does not factor to much into the equation here.

I guess though like you said, it comes down to budget and which you can fit in the best. If the GXP and the Comp G are at different dealers, I would say to the one with the GXP you found one at another dealership with say a couple thousand more miles and their and they want only 18,500 for it. And see if they bite. If they dont, start to walk out. I am sure they will try and reel you back in

Good luck either way you go.
X2 on what was said here...... I am a little more bias though, I would say CompG.
