First is doesn't sound like either price is out of reach for you. If you are buying for a pleasure car to keep it nice and for some time, I would go with the low mileage myself. But be warned that low mileage doesn't always mean it was well cared for.

If it were to be a daily driver, I would go with the cheapest and since you can do the repairs, drive the wheels off of it.

I personally would pay a bit more to get one well taken care of. Mileage is a factor, but not always the decision maker.

And after owning a Crossfire for 4 years, I would travel to great lengths to get exactly the one I want when I am in the market again. You will see some here will travel half way across the country to get what they want. I would do the same now.

Good luck with your purchase. James
