Which one would you buy?

[FrankB1]

I will post this on the LHS forum also. I would really appreciate any advice on my decision. I found two cars I like for different reasons. What would you do?

1.) A 2000 300M no options but only 28,000 miles (was a Fleet rental car). Dealer was asking $15,480 and I have him down to $12,900.

2). A 2000 LHS with sliding sunroof, chrome wheels and 4 disc changer upgrade (does the extra watt speakers come with this?). The car is a local trade and I spoke with the couple this afternoon and they said they had no problems with car and regret trading it in on a Pacifica.
Dealer was asking $12,995 and has come down to $11,000. Only thing I noticed during test drive was front end "shimmy" braking from 60-70 mph.
Dealer said possibly rotors.

I kind of like the LHS styling better but I like the low miles on the 300M. I really can't tell the difference in ride between the two.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

If you think that was a good buy, then a 2000 with 28,000 miles should also be a good buy. A year newer, 3000 miles not enough to discuss.

Warranty left on the 300, not a contest in my opinion, 300M.

I agree with the dealer, the rotors are causing the 'shimmy' in the LHS.

Again, my opinion.
