Color Over Low KM's?

Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a used RX8 (i've read the awesome stickies and various other threads posted here and i'm ready for the plunge). I've been focusing on a pearl white 8 but I've been having trouble finding a decent one for sale. I have come across 2 separate 8's for sale though:
1: Red, 2004, GT, 47000KM, $11300
2: White, 2007, NOT GT (from what i can tell), 90000KM, $11000
This brings me to a conundrum in which #2 is a nice white color and is newer year but has higher KM where as the other 8 is red but has really low KM. In this scenario, what is recommended? Lower KMs outweigh aesthetics? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2 lines of thought:
1) You can change the engine easier than you can change the color of the car
2) Aesthetics aren't tangible
Good luck![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
(imo, hold out for a lower mileage white one!)

RIWWP: Some good points! I was thinking the same thing but this is a tough call. I had an 07 white GT in my grasp about a month ago, unfortunately someone offered ~1k more than me and got it. Ah well!
Monchie: Of course! Compression test is mandatory in my books!
Allaboutmoney: It is? Can you please explain?
