'97 base with 41k miles or '99 packed with 87k?

[quarch]

which one should I buy?

- car 1
Oct. 1997
41k miles
base model (no door speakers, no windshield, no nothing)
tiptro

- car 2
Jun 1999
87k miles
full options (xenon, full black leather, 3 spike streeing, windshield, bose system ect)
tiptro
+ engine just rebuilt
+ new transmission

the difference in price is around 2G...

how imporant is the mileage? both car have been serviced regularly by same dealer, both had only 1 owner.

How expensive is to replace the gauges' trim, tiptro knob and door handles? the '99 one come with nasty looking ones (looks something between wood veneer and leopard skin... brrrr)?

thanks,
