Keep which one was created by L7kvv
Ive already got a blue 01 soft top with 69k. The roof is suffering a bit in the usual places
Round the velcro. Ive just picked up an 04 estate with 101k. Its black over silver with alloys and a few crapy looking chrome trims round handles, lights etc.

Idealy id prefer an estate but i want to know what the m13a engine is like with high miles. Neither car has a full service history but the black one is a one lady owner car ao has probably never been in 4wd before.

Whats peoples opinions?

Do an oil change on the hard top.
If the oil is clean & runny keep it, 100,000miles is nothing for a twin cam that has been looked after.

If it is all black tarry & sludgy sell it, neglecting the oil kills the top end.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
