I like the lower mileage choices usually, unless there is a mechanical issue with them. Color may be a choice driver, but that is not thought about until it is to late to fix. I have a used 2021 Cajun Red and I looked for a few minutes to find a lower mileage choice in the Cajun Red Tintcoat. A number of good choices were out there in a multitude of colors, but I kept looking until i found what I was looking for. Get the one that makes you feel good and is mechanically better that the rest.

The last models built after July 2023 (I think of them as 2024 model year) have the N2.2a battery with which no issues have been reported.

Something to keep in mind is that GM is in the process of walking away from Android Auto / Apple CarPlay in favor of their captive infotainment system on newer models. The Bolt and Bolt EUV models through 2023 include Android Auto and CarPlay. Being stuck with OnStar, not being able to use my mobile phone for navigation, would be a deal breaker for me.
