the second one is the best out of the 3 because it's a manual. 108k, you better get a compression test and hope he has some service records to show you. I sold my 05 grand touring with 105k, good numbers, much better wheels and tires, and some nice mods/upgrades for $8k. I had paperwork to back it up as well.

The first one is a lie. 05 auto's were a 4 speed not a 6 speed.

The third is similar to the second but more miles. Expect the same thing out of it.

You should probably do some serious research on this site before you look at any cars.

First one is a base model AT, the lowest power, lowest reliability, lowest performing (in every metric: cornering, braking, and acceleration) trim level possible.

The 2nd one is the opposite, a fully loaded GT with it appears that every option was added, including the rare Nav (which isn't that great, but has the highly desired dash pieces for CarPC setups). The big chrome wheels bother me, but that's a personal taste thing. It has ~50hp more than the 1st, better 0-60, better quarter mile, better driver involvement, better brakes, better suspension.

The 3rd appears to be a similar car to the 2nd, a GT trim, though no Nav. The seller can't take pictures worth a damn though. No Appearance Package like the 2nd.

Of the 3, ditch the first one, and of the other two, go with the one that has the higher compression numbers. If equal, pick between which color you like more or whichever has the cleaner paint/interior.

If any of them refuse to get a compression test or to work with you on getting one, cross them off the list.

I'm about to say #2. It has more options than the rest, but get that compression test first though. Good luck whichever you decide to choose.
