There are two convertibles available both black, one is 2004 with 19K on the clock and two tone leather interior (£5995) and the second one is a 2007 with 47K on the clock and black leather interior (£6500). Both are automatic, which one would you guys go for.

Really down to you, personally i'd buy the later car which is still low mileage, i'm always a bit wary of very low mileage older cars as it doesnt do mechanical things any good when they are not used regularly, and things like rubber seals etc go hard with age and lack of use.

Obviously overall condition is a factor too.

Both sound to be great cars, but there's no way I would pay £500 for road tax out of so it would be the earlier one for me, keep it older than March 2006 if the tax is a deciding factor for you...
