Top engine refresh is a good point. As I said both cars have full records, but I didn't look close enough to see if one or both had the work done.

I'm not sure I'd choose one or the other based solely on that that one item, but it would definately be important. I'm a pretty handy DIYer. Is one engine type easier to DIY than the other?
