Wow that looks a stunner too. And if you are going to strip the lot down and fully rebuild I wouldn't worry about mileage :D As you said as long as the interior and exterior is tiptop I would go for the cheaper car ;)
:( I think when money get's tight people panic which is understandable, you just never know whats around the corner. But I would look forward now and plan what car your are getting got two nice choices, I would get speaking to them both see which is the better deal :D
And just start a new post here if you like mate we don't have any Import rooms as such.
