IMO, between those two years the best conditioned, best optioned car wins. Any performance bump is always welcome but if I was going for a 2.7 I'd shoot for 03 and higher for the factory glass back top. Know this, any car at the mileage you are looking at is going to need some ongoing maintenance sooner than later. Having the IMS checked / replaced is a great idea as your investment can quickly become a 3K roller if there is an undiscovered problem. If you are going with the dealer work an IMS replacement and rear main seal right into the deal.

PS Resale of whatever you buy will be determined by condition, all the depreciation will be out of it by then, keep it running with a log of what you do and it can't sink much lower.
