Default Which to pick??

Hi fellow Camaro lovers! Man, i have a very tuff decision to make. I
had been doing some car browsing and came across two great looking
lt1's in the same lot for the same price! Car number one; a black on
black ttop 1995 v8 z28 with 119,939 miles. From the outside, the car is in
great condition, no scratches or dings, tinted windows, nice 20" niche rims. From the
inside, interior is in great condition as well, well taken care of
leather (all but one well sized tear on the drivers side), nice sound
system installed without subs. From the pics, i dont see any mods
under the hood, or under the car. Car number two; a ttop red 1997 v8 Pontiac
trans am with 125k miles on it. From the outside, the body is also in great looking condition, all stock, no scratches or dings from what I could remember. From the inside; interior is in good condition with great leather, no tears. some evident misuse, but easy fixes. Everything is stock, even stereo. Didn't look under the hood or exhaust to tell if anything been moded.
I love both really, and can't really tell which to choose from. Both are priced at $5,999 at the dealership although I'm sure could be talked down. I would really appreciate anyone's input on my decision! What do you guys think!?

I've had a couple 4th gen Camaros, so I'd probably lean more towards the Trans Am just for something different, but that's me.
Which color do you like better, black or red?
The mileage difference is minor, however 6k miles is a years worth of d.d. driving for me. 2 years for a summer only car.
The real deciding factor could come once you test drive them both. One could feel tight as a drum and the other could feel looser than a $20 hooker, lol
That may help to tell whether the cars were maintained or driven into the ground.

I've never owned either or, so both would definitely be new ones for me, but I have driven a few of my friends Camaro and firebirds. Can't tell which I would like better since they're modded up.
Man, Camaro 69, both red and black are my colors, but I find black to be mean af.
Yeah, mileage aren't that far apart, but they would be a d.d and I do a **** ton of it. 6k would be 1 years worth.
Haha, yeah, I'll definitely take tighter than a drum or looser than a $20 hooker in thought when driving both. Hey man, I thank you for your input!

pay to much if you want .dealers that end up with these cars ,there is ussally a reason ,an they do the min to get the car running good ,after there short warranty tough luck I don't think I ever had an good luck buying high miles cars from a dealer ,when there are much better deals to be had,like I stated above an a fact is there is no better car then the private sale from the right seller an this time of year people need Christmas $$$,I paid just $6500.00 for both my cars one 95 z28 69.000 miles an the 99 3800 88.000 miles $2000.00 I would not pick either one ,unless you can get them for under $3000.00 couse there out there for alot less ,.but not from a dealer,i just like to see people get great deals an real bang for there hard earned money
