I like the red better than black. But:
1) New
2) Sixth Gear
3) Improved instruments
4) Factory Warranty
Seem to be worth more than $1,500, at least $2,000 maybe $2,500.
However, 2013 has rack and new tires. Maybe better tires than the four year old tires on the 2014s. How long to tires last? I bought a 2015 DRZ 400S in 2015 with 1,900 miles and original tires. I replaced the tires since they were 10 years old even though they had very little wear.
Might go to local dealer and offer $4,500, out the door. He will probably say no, but If I show him the new ones I can get for $5,999, probably plus $1,000 for tax, tag, title, dealer fee is how I get to $7,000, but I have not talked to them yet. Might be more, or might be less and might be able to talk them down to $6,500.
Since I ride mostly around town, the sixth gear may not be a huge deal for me. And if I really like the bike, I might pop for a new new 2018. The 2013 might be an extended test ride for a year or two.
