Default HELP ! What would you choose ?

There are two 2001 Audi AllRoad Quattros at my dealer. Both are Automatic (which is what I like). Given the specs below, what would you choose?

(1) Silver color 2001, 9000 miles (yeah, very low mileage), $33,990, leather seats, ding free, no premium package (no steering controls) and no heated seats, Audi Certified

(2) Atlas Grey color 2001, 32000 miles (ok mileage), $34,990, leather seats, premium package (steering controls - not sure if it comes with Xenon) and heated seats, no dings, with warrantee.

Both seem to be in good condition. Which would you personally choose? Which has the best bang for the buck?

Check the history of both.
The preference is for the lower mileage car, less miles, less wear. Find out why it was traded in, could have had problems.
On the other hand, a well maintained Audi, driven responsibly, is good for many miles.
Do your detective work. If the higher spec car has been well maintained, go for it, but get it thoroughly inspected by someone who knows, before parting with your hard earned $'s.
Good luck.

Are heated seats worth 23,000 miles AND $1000? IMHO...go for the lower miles and enjoy. (Different opinion if a GREEN one was in the mix) :>P

I don't know why, but cars returned to a dealer with such low mileage worry me... Hopefully the previous owner just changed his/her mind, and there aren't any hidden issues with the car.
