I would take the lower miles. I bought one with almost 200k for cheaper but spent a lot of money fixing a lot of little things. I was just desperate at the time to finally own a GS and didn't have the options you have.

I would keep looking. I just sold a 99 GS300 with 175000 miles. Got $5000 for it and bought a new IS250. Properly maintained, one like this would be a good deal at that price or more. Sketchy maintenance and I would be very careful!
