Default Which to buy: 2005 with 93k or 2003 with 46k?

Furthur info: 2005 with 93k has 4.2 V8, while 2003 with 46k has 2.7T.

This is assuming all else is the same.
Thanks for your opinions.

That 93,000 wouldn't scare you away in favor of the 46k vehicle?
I have no access to service records since this car is at a used-car dealership and he bought it at auction.

Is is the fact that the 2003 is 2 years older or is it the 2.7t that would steer you away from the 2003?

It's a couple things.The 2.7t and the fact that the V8 is most likely highway mileage which is lest trouble.I bought my V8 in Oct of O5 with 194 miles it now has 134000.Only a couple coil packs and front bags went bad.The same chance as a 2.7 plus they have timing belts,leaks and turbos going bad.

Definitely 4.2.. The 2.7T's have a lot more problems than the 4.2's do.
