You need to choose based on condition, not year and mileage (err.. kilometerage?) So go out to where each car is and take them apart if you know anything about cars. If not, take them to a mechanic and pay them $100 to look each car over. It's best to have them on a lift and give the shop an hour to give you a report on what the issues with each car is.
If you are handy, search the car over stem to stern, take the wheels off, take measurements and borrow a good scan tool and see what the ECU/TCU tell you- read codes, look for shady shit like codes cleared this morning or whatever. Also go for a test drive- but have the seller do the driving. You can look at Torque Pro while they drive and watch HOW the seller drives. If they tailgate, drive like a maniac or generally beat on the car, you know the car has been beat on. Turn off the radio and listen for problems. Enjoy the crickets.
