04S gives you glass rear window and 6 speed - not sure if the 02S is 6 or 5, but I know it has plastic window. I would go 4 the 04S unless you really like the colors on the 02S better.

Both cars sound high on price, but the S is easily worth the price difference, also it is actually better that the S has been driven more in the past 3 years.

Go with the 04 since it has been driven more lately and has the glass rear window, glove-box, but only if you like the color.

The price is too high on both by about 2-3K so you need to do some haggling.

You don't lose anything by trying if your nice about it and can always pay asking price if all else fails and you can't bring yourself to walk.
