i would prolly lean more towards the second one, but i would drop like 2400 off their asking price and tell them that is what you will offer them... like 14500 is your offer... i wouldn't pay more than like 15250 for that car.

is the driver side drl (daytime running light) (inner light) all fogged up on that second car??? thats no good.. i would have them fix that before you even thought about paying that much for the car, you know?? cuz that doesn't usually get better over time...

u are gonna mod either of those cars right, cuz all i see right now is old person/ housewife looking at those two as is??

I would pick the 2nd also. As stated, I would haggle on the price and see what you can get out of them. Bring someone with you that doesnt care if you get the car. They will be more prone to find problems with it and might help bring the price down.

Wellllll, if I were you I'd spend $5-2,000 less and buy my car, which is older but has less miles than either of those, is cleaner, has more than $5k in mods, and is a GS400, not a GS300. Have you driven a GS400 and felt the difference? Why pay more for less when you can pay less for more?? Check out the CL classifieds.

Id go for the SD because there isnt much of a difference in looks, and its a really nice color. They also chromed out the grill for you
