Help me decide which one to buy :)

[Nervous but Excited]

I am open to both the Hybrid and the Energi - although I have a small bias towards to Energi.

 

Hybrid options (both have great Carfax and service history):
1) 2016, SE, $12,984, 91k miles. Build date is 3/16 so the transmission should be fine. From dealership. (https://collegewayauto.com/listings/2016-ford-c-max-hybrid-se/).

2) 2016, SE, $13,995, 61k miles. Build date is 9/16 so the transmission should be fine. From dealership. (https://www.autonationfordwestlake.com/used/Ford/2016-Ford-C-Max+Hybrid-c92a106f0a0e09a9358a1791c919573e.htm?searchDepth=1:1)

Energi Options:
1) 2016, SEL, $12,500, 85k miles, Build date is 1/16 so the transmission should be fine. Comes with spare wheel, 4 snow tires, new brakes. Service record is good, **BUT** private purchase and was involved in a "moderate severity" accident (see carfax attached)

2) 2017, SE, $14,295, 70k miles, good carfax and maintenance. From dealership. (https://www.wolfmotors.com/searchused.aspx?q=c-max)

 

 

Any thoughts or insights would be much appreciated!
 

@fbov @cr08 @SnowStorm @Billyk24 you've all been really helpful before. I would really appreciate your thoughts!

You must perform the battery capacity test on the Energi to find out how much the battery has degraded.   Yes, heat degrades the battery and the battery heats to unhealthy levels just sitting in the summer sun.  The Energi does not have an adequate thermal regulatory system to manage safe battery temperature during the warmer months of the year.    A search will reveal on how to perform this simple battery capacity test that has to be done in EV now.
