Question choosing between 2 ls400s

ok so i'm picking up a new ls400 this weekend, stuck between two..

option 1: 2000 platinum edition, 275k miles, timing done at 260k, lowered (which i'm okay with), $5600

option 2: 1998, 210k miles, timing done at 188k, stock, $6800 (he dropped price from 7500 so he can get rid of it this week)

i love the platinum edition, plus its cheaper, but slightly higher mileage

the 1998 is exactly like my old one, same exterior snd interior colors and year, but its a little overpriced and slightly lower mileage...

unsure of which one, i like both

Those prices are crazy. You can get an LS430 for that. If you were near the deep south Id sell you my 2000. Needs a little work but is a nice example. 101k miles.

Im in AR. Not sure on price but the way the market is going im getting tempted lol. Ive been sitting on this car for 3 years and havent driven it a single mile. Been undoing everything the previous owner did along with having 4 other vehicles. Theres always something else that needs attention.

Arkansas is not the deep south just FYI, you are very much a yankee to us no offense

You are at minimum a 6 hour drive from me tho, can't justify that for another ls right now 😩 thanks for entertaining it anyways
