I was hoping on leaning on everyone's good graces and aggregate knowledge to see if either is a good pick up. Or if both, which would be the better buy. Thank you ahead of time for responses!

I would look more to the Lehigh 2006.
Especially if the build date is after mid July 2006.
Then you won't have to worry about the "Sticky Key" issue. Ask for a picture of the data plate located on the driver's door. That will give you the build date.
If its' before mid July 2006, whichever car you choose open the fuse panel door located on the driver's side. Usually if the sticky key was done, some people will write that on the inside of the fuse door cover. (see picture).
The black one looks in much better condition inside and out, in my opinion. It looks like the previous owner took great care of it. Also, unlike the blue one, the cup holder isn't broken.
Also, a heat gun should easily take those decals off. You could probably have the dealer do it for you, or you can use them to drop the price a bit. The prices are much lower than when I bought mine a couple of years ago.
I have a black 2006 base model with a 6 speed manual and I love it! Good luck!
