Both appear significantly modified; knowing what was done, what parts were used and who did the work would be key in picking the one I would buy.
Another comment is that the silver one has the wastegate dump and exhaust out the hood and will rowdy while the blue one only has the wastegate dump out the hood. Still rowdy at full boost but will be a better street car.

What are do you intend to do with the car?

Either way first thing I’d do on either is fit a proper exhaust system and internal dump. These hood style exits never made sense to me.

thank you for your help and sharing your experience
I will modified it to the max I’ve saved 20k for parts alone not the car price.
but still I will keep it street car “ super car killer “ that’s the dream and plan
and I will change this exhaust system to full exhaust system
both clean silver is 60k mile blue is 100k mile
do you mind if I share both with you and help me decide better ? Highly appreciated

Yea, thats fine.

I mean generally the lower mileage one would be my preference but it really depends on the mods done, by who and overall condition.

I would take the blue one. I’ve learned a long time ago not to pay too much attention to mileage (it matters but the gap isn’t large enough in this case) if chassis are in similar condition it’s all about how they were maintained. Since you’d be changing out the turbo and exhaust setup it doesn’t matter. I just don’t like seeing a mini rad on these cars. Not one bit. It’s hard to say without driving them or hearing them run but based on the pics I’d take the blue.
