Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I would start with an '02 for the HP, glass window, and glove box to start.
An '02 is a better car, but would cost nearly $25k more....thats a hell of a difference. He could go aftermarket for a chip, intake, headers, and exhaust for $6k and make up the HP difference. All things beings close to equal, I'd say buy #1....less miles, no history of RMS (they tend to be repeat problems), and the PPI is already done.
Yeah, I guess either one is ok. But neither one really jumps out as a great deal. You might keep looking and find a different car with lower miles that didn't have any problems for not much more money. But if you have already looked around and those are the only cars in your area, I'd probably go with #1 depending on how well the paint matches, etc. but it's almost a coin flip.
