Default Which C5???

Please help..... would you buy ......

'99 44k miles 6spd new tires on front, interior allegedly excellent(?) for
$16k ..all options, both roofs (2nd owner) OR

'01 36k miles auto w/2.73 (which I prefer for better mpg and wife could drive), same options as '99, but driver's bolster is worn, all tires need to be replaced, front end needs alignment (3rd owner) 18k + $600.00 for tires and alignment.

PLEASE VOTE!! I'm torn!! Already agreed to buy '01 but had not seen interior until today's photos were received in my email ... hate to bail an agreement but.......

I would go 99, unless tranny is a deal breaker. Sounds like a nicer, better taken care of car.
