Default Need some help choosing my next Scooby. Torn between two cars......

Hi folks. Having owned my old classic wagon for going on 6 months now, I've decided to stick with Scoobies for the forseeable. I've been well and truly converted!

The problem I have now, is that I can't really decide on which of these two cars to go for:

http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/vehi...d=AETV78271009

http://www4.autotrader.co.uk/classif.../sti?logcode=p

I've got zero issues with the bug eye's looks, and actually like it. But I do prefer the blob eye a bit, as does my girlfriend. The problem here, is that the bug eye on the link above has done just 87k. The blob has done 107k. Is this a problem? I'm reluctant to remap and tune something that's already done so many miles.

Could do with some real help on this one from those in the know. These cars are ideal because they are coming from garages, and we'll be buying via credit card (so that I can pay it back bit by bit as I break my old MR2 Turbo).

IMO got with the blob. Looks like a nicer car and a better advert to. Service history is what it's all about and I looks like it has some with stamps to prove it. So I would not worry about the miles to much. Remember, it's a buyers Market
Ps. Blobeye is the best shape to.

Yeah I love the look of it. But 20k is a big difference? How long will these engines go on for before needing an expensive rebuild? I must admit, my classic WRX is on 137k and goes great, but I wanted something considerably lower this time.....

I could wait it out but that Blob Eye's plus point is that it looks to have a nice spec. and not overdone by the previous owners.
