Fyi- the appearance package is an option on all models. Not standard on the GT.

So is the navi. A passing compression should help you decide on which one to buy.

I'll choose the one with the low mileage. Even though its a low mileage, get a compression test done on the engine, so that you know how healthy the engine is, good luck whichever you choose.
