help me decide: 2002 Ford Ranger, 65k miles, 2003 73k miles?

Question

I am trying to buy a truck, and I have narrowed down to two:
2003 Ford Ranger, 73K miles pretty standard (eg. no bed liner, no window tinting, no security key etc).
2002 Ford Ranger, 65k miles, slightly better accessories.
Price is exactly the same, the 03 is gray, the 02 is white.
I drive about 24k miles a year.
They both look as good, but I do know that the 03 has newer components, and the 02 has fewer miles.
In my shoes, which would YOU choose?

Answer 1

Try running them both through the price estimator at the Kelley Blue Book website, and see if one looks like a better deal. If you have a friend who's a mechanic, see if you can have them look at both for any potential problems. If it still looks like a wash, I'd go for the newer one.

Answer 2

The 2003, it's a year newer and you may get a better interest rate. The other reason is that it's not white (I hate white) and you said it's got more features.
