Default Opinions, 01 or 03?

All things being equal, same price, the 01 has 90K miles on it and the 03 has 116K miles (neither have had the timing belt replaced yet), which one should I buy?
Thanks, Eric

Not all things are equal. Price should be the least of your concerns really. Which one has the most documented service history? Any repaired accident damage? All the electrics work? Any of those will make or break a car. Being as neither has had the timing belt changed (are you sure), they don't sound to be well maintained. The 2003 should have had it's belt changed by now. Either way you go, make sure you do that t-belt right away, and while you're at it do the tensioner and water pump. Cheap insurance for a lasting car.
