Thanks in advance

 

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.

 

Deffinatelly get a comp test. I purchased my first 8 with 80k and the comp test was good so i felt good about the purchase
