Logic would suggest buying the lowest mileage one. But, I would suggest looking at the maintenance records. I would rather buy a car with 40k miles that has been properly maintained, and with service records, than one with 20k miles and an unknown history. Of course, do a Carfax check, and eliminate any car with a wreck or flood history.
That said, I would hope that the red one with the 2-tone interior checked out, I love that interior too.
Good luck!

The high milage car could actually be the best. Depends upon maintence and care.
I have seen alot of low milage cars with bad exteriors and interiors, and thats before you check the mechanical condition.
Get someone that knows about cars and test drive them. Examine them.

Yah i really love the one with red and black interior but i feel that it hasn't been taking that good care of but the other red one has been but it doesnt have the interior. Its pretty much comes down to, do i wanna lose the interior that i really want and get a more reliable car or take the gamble of the interior i want and worry about it mechanical. It seems like a no brainier when i just typed that out... you would be stupid to take a car that is gonna be a problem.

i would buy from ferg if i where you. he knows what he's doing.
if i had to buy my car again, with more miles, i'd do a search for someone on the forums in my area. they probably read the threads and took care of the car.
