Default Which F-body should I buy?

Ok guys, I'm torn between 2 cars. Both are about 2 hours away from me.

2002 NBM TA A4. 25,500 miles. Priced at $15K. Power everything, tan leather, etc. Car looks super clean and I've always loved NBM. I've also never owned a T/A.

2001 SOM SS A4. 42,000 miles. Priced at $14K. Power, Black leather, etc. This one also looks great and SOM is very desirable and beautiful. I've also never owned an SS, but I've owned 4 4th gen Camaros already.

What would you guys do?

If it is a WS6, then get the TA.

I would not be having this dilemma if I found a WS6 w/ 25k on it for $15K. I would have scarfed that bitch up!

T/A's look better imo, it has lower miles and cheaper.

I'd get the SS simply because tan interiors are nasty. If the TA had any other interior I'd say TA for the lower miles and better looks.

Come on, a tan interior on a NBM would look fantastic. Not sure how you came to the conclusion that tan interiors are "nasty".

I don't think that interior looks bad at all!

I think it's a nice change of pace from all the Black/Graphite leather cars out there. Plus I live in florida, black leather can be painful here!

any mods done to these cars? I would have to say the SS for a couple of reasons... SOM is an awesome and rarer color, thats a pretty decent price, and the t/a isnt a WS6
