Question Which one to buy? Opinions...

Looking at two different ti's to replace my current one:

The first is a '95 model, base with no options, steel wheels, 5-spd, only 60k miles.

The second is a '96 model, traction control, cruise, sunroof, 5-spd, premium sound with cd, keyless entry, alloys, 100k miles.

Both are about the same price. Which seems like the best way to go?

I'm actually thinking the '96 is a better deal because I'd like having ASC and sunroof...cruise would be nice, too. These are the kinds of things you can't really add to a car without spending a lot of time and money. Am I thinking straight or is the low mileage car too good to pass up? Thanks for any input.

Sound logic... Sunroof + Traction Control + Cruise Control = Expensive to install and never quite looks stock... (except TC of course...).

if going to keep stock and just drive, probably the 2nd 96

if going to mod go for the 95 b/c of obd 1 , its easier and lower miles is always a plus

tell us what you eventually get?

Default Going for the '96

It's going to be my wife's daily driver. Any modding will be a few years off, when she gets tired of it (as she has with her automatic 318ti). So I'm picking up the '96 in 2 days if all goes well. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for the input!
