Which Boxster would you buy?

Two cars have fallen on my lap for around $12k. Both almost showroom condition. I'm looking to pull the trigger on one or the other.

2000: Lapis Blue/Tan, 39k, recent RMS with clutch (NO IMS), coolant tank, tires, seller said seats were dried out so he had them recovered. Nice job but a trained eye can tell it's not factory. Curb rash on wheels. Brake rotors had a slight lip so may need brakes soon.

2002: Black/Tan, 54k, new IMS bearing (clutch not replaced because it looked recently done), oil return tubes, brakes, tires, belts, alternator. Fluids all flushed. Idled slightly rough on cold start but ran flawlessly otherwise. I really liked the post face-lift dash. Non PSM car.

Do I go with the older 2000 model with less miles, or the facelift 2002 model with a few more miles? Both look/run/drive equally nice.
