Default Worth it or no?

Alright, i currently have a 01 3.8l 5speed, but id love to have a Z28, problem is im picky and wont buy unless its a stick. so my question is, i found two cars which will be listed below....are the miles to high to even bother with them? The car will need to last me several years and id average between 5k-10k a year. Id be more than happy to work on them alittle bit, but complete restoration isnt an option right now (going to college shortly). I saw a thread posted here saying people get 16.5mpg roughly, if i shift conservatively would it be reasonable to expect a full 17mpg? Also, i know these wont be very fun by any means to drive in the snow, but it is possible as long as you take a few advil before attempting it? Thanks guys.

White 95
Silver 95

I bought mine 94 Z for 4000 with 102000 on it and it runs like a charm, the only things ive had to replace are the wheel bearings. But i love the car. But ill be storing mine this winter. Gas is a big deal for some but it doesnt really bother me cause i really only drive from school to work. But if you are to get one out of the two id go with the white 95. An mileage is really only a number depending on how it was taken care of.

What am i doing with the V6? i was going to just do some minor upgrades and call it a day but some of the stuff isnt emissions legal in my state so. I was hoping that my V6 is enough to do a straight trade in or i sell myself, its a 2001 with 89.3k miles on it, 5 speed, very nice condition.

if you test drive it and like it, have a mechanic inspect the car, it will save you a lot of trouble, its better to pay $80 to have it inspected than to pay 6k and have a bunch of problems
