I'd go with the one from a trusted mechanic if I were making the purchase (and not part of All We'll Drive. We work our magic on new and old! )

Reminds me of a 2006 Legacy I looked at with 144k on it. My 92 Legacy L was in better shape!

I'm still waiting for someone to photoshop lohan's face onto the granny...

In all serious-ness, there is is NO replacment for low miles. I would take the 50k one, not even a blink of the eye.

I do nothing but take great care of all my cars. I make sure they run perfect when I get them, and I keep them that way. But even in the >10k miles I've put on the SVX, I can tell stuff breaks much more rapidly at 130k than 12xk.

Just my experience and opinion. Plus, how often do people get to say they have an SVX w/ less than 100k?? You see the 150k millage SVX's everywhere...
