Which is a better deal on infiniti i30?

Question

I am looking to buy an infiniti i30 and i have found two possibilities. For $5000 i can get a 96 that has a redone body that is very new and shiny and is my preferred color w/120k miles... however it has salvaged title. On the other hand there is a 98 model with 20k less miles and an acceptable color, and perhaps better interior. The price of this is only $2000 more. Which is the better deal? If mechanic checks both and says They have no current or foreseable problems?

Answer 1

No competition, I would get the '98.

It has less miles, is newer, and you do not want a salvage vehicle. I had one once, after an accident (not my fault) the insurance company didn't want to give me a cent since the vehicle was salvage.

Get it repainted if the color is that important to you.
