Advice needed on 996

I am trying to decide between two cars, here are the details:

A)
2000 Speed Yellow C2, with a Fully Aero Kit, 18k miles, in great condition, bottom price $40k. In FL.

B)
2001 Guards Red C2, All tan leather, 36.6k miles, great condition,
managed to get the dealer down to 37,510. In Denver.

I'll have to consider shipping for both cars to Maryland.


Thanks for your input.

I would go with A. I like the idea of the full Aero Kit over the full leather. IMHO

Thanks to everyone's input, I'm really looking forward to joing the Porsche community.

Here's some pics of the one I have in mind, the owner is arranging to have a PPI done this week:
