If they're 10 out of 10, its gotta be your own taste that decides. Other than the obvious color combos being so different, the interiors are mildly different and there's a few other subtle differences. Look over the cars thoroughly, and test drive them if possible. Both are very neat combos.
Personally, I would go '96 CE. Timeless style and the '96 is the newest C4 you can get. But if you prefer the 40th ann Ruby, go for it! Can't go wrong with either car.

Make up a set of flashcards - 2 or 3 of both cars. Flip through them randomly. Decide which one makes you happier when you see it.
OR .. flip a coin. Watch your feelings just as you see the coin result. Was it happy or disappointed? That should tell you which one you really want.
All other things being more or less even, the happiness quotient is the main factor ..

The 1996, unless you have a preference in color, the 96 is a 3 yr, newer = better car and is $1,0000 cheaper, I see it has 20,000 more miles but are you looking to buy a car that you can keep for a while & turn for a buck or are you wanting to drive what you buy ?, if it is an investment be patient cause it will take quite a few years before either one is worth alot more than they are today. The 96 IMHO is the better deal, Good luck with either one their both great cars.

Another vote for the 96. Some serious improvements in creature features are built into the 95-96s; excellent cars and fun, fun, fun to drive! (Oh, did I mention the opti's on the 95-96 cars were vented to deal with moisture?? Yep. That's worth considering, "fer sher".
