Given the number of miles on each, one thing’s certain no matter which vehicle you choose; you’re exposing yourself to some pretty hefty maintenance and/or repair costs. Therefore, I’d let the potential repair costs drive my decision, choosing the vehicle likely to be the least expensive to maintain and/or repair, meaning the Volkswagen Golf/GTI (for which parts are likely to be the least expensive) or Acura Legend (which is the easiest and least expensive to work on).Best of luck. I hope this helps.

Acura. cheap on repairs, sips on gas,
your looking at some serious $$ if a bmw/audi/300zx breaks down. and with all the milage, youll be paying a lot. German car parts are expensive as hell, and the 300zx has the most cramped engine bay in the history of cars.
