Question Help me choose! (buying a newer LS)

I have the option of purchasing on of these LS400's from a dealer:

1993 with 75k miles - 5999

1996 with 95k miles - 5999

1993 with 120k miles for 5999

All things being equal it seems the '96 would be the better choice.
Any thing I should reconsider? Are prices reasonable?

Thanks

93 with 120k miles is outta the question lol.

but the 93 with 75k miles is pretty decently priced for that mileage..
but for the 96 and only 20k more miles u get alot more options

http://www.lexls.com/info/lsgenerations.html scroll down and read the 1993 specs and the 96 specs..

1996 with 95k miles for sure. There were some upgrades made from the 93 model to the 96 model...bigger brakes, exterior, electronics, gated shifter, etc. The extra 20k miles is nothing in these cars but that's assuming that both were equally maintained. Check to see if there are maintenance history on the cars if you can.

definetly 96. the exterior styling, as well as interior are both marvelous, better than pre-95 LS's IMO. like stated before, 20K miles is nothing, people put that in 6 months. these cars run like new, even at 200K miles
