Tough decision! 87 or 95

OK, I am dying to get into a newer Benz. I found an 87 with just over 200,000 miles, head was replaced about 10 years ago, evaporator replaced more recently. Garage kept, paint and interior look great (from pictures), also new glow plugs and relay. The 95 has 238,000 highway miles. Evaporator replaced last year. Interior could use a new armrest on the console. The paint is a little "chalked". Has a small, dime sized rust spot near the window on back door. Maintained by dealer until two years ago. Price is nearly identical for either.

In the pictures, the 87 looks better, but is 8 years older. I want something that I can keep for years to come.

Advice, suggestions? Both are about 300 miles away in opposite directions.

Thanks!
