Yes, both are base models

Hi, Yes these two particular ones are both base models that I'm looking at. One has lower miles (by about 10K) and costs about 1,100 more. Have been worried about the low miles due to similar concerns mentioned here in the replies. But I am hugely encouraged by the comments of those buying low mile cars and having no issues in reliability. I will definitely look into Blackstone labs as well.

I'd say they have been both driven the same # miles per year approximately.

Between 2,600 mi/mth for the 2001 and ~3000/mth for the 2000 so they both got enough miles to keep things lubed and moving.

I'd go for the 2001 model as there were a few upgrades/improvements in the systems if I recall correctly.

Honestly, if it were me, I'd hold out for an S model as you can't have too much power and the resale value will be better. The S increases the FUN factor and that's why we drive them, so...
