Difficult answer for me. Obviously the 2004 would be the better 'deal' financially, but the look of the 2000 is simply timeless!

That's the good ole' days right there and the 2000 is the last year of that body style (LOVE IT!). To me, it expresses more of a pimp/classic/luxury look in my opinion! Not to mention the body style from 2000 is super rare to see in my neighborhood. Heck, I'll be different and say I'm taking the 2000!!! (it could simply be that I own a 2005 and simply want a change too, lol)

You didn't mention but the condition of the cars has to be taken into consideration also. How has each been maintained and do they have any damage to the body, paint or glass? How many owners?? And while both models are behind the times technically speaking, the '04 may have BT, parking sensors and back up camera while the '00 would not. All things to consider.

Could be wrong but not that serious of a poll, lol. I'm guessing OP was just creating a 'fun poll' and seeing who would choose what, with all things being equal, because they are both highly desirable (to me at least) body styles!

Agree on the "fun poll". Equal price and same mileage? No details?

I think you're both right re. the "fun poll" Perhaps one of the "mods" can pull the thread.
