Car #1 wins. Much lower mileage for the money. Lack of maintanence records shouldn't be a deal killer and the car is priced correctly to reflect the mileage, options, and lack of records. In this market, offer $16K and go home happy.

The biggest problem with Car #2 is that its over-priced (due to the high miles) - even with maintanence records. IMS replacement only adds a couple hundred in value (at most). This car is only worth about $14,500 at best and in this market a realistic price is more like $14K even.
