Default Which Monte Should I Get?

So im big into the auto auction and my auto broker showed me to montes of the bat i wanted both in one of my post i stated i was getting the black one but help me out which would you choose. NOTICE......

The black one has the 3.5L base motor, leather, sunroof, surf board spoiler (hate it), but i will have to get a new fender, bumper, and possibly hood
Copart

The white one has the 3.9L LTZ motor, cloth seats, no sunroof, pace spoiler, no serious damage
Copart

I would definitely go for the white one.
The only thing missing on that one would be the sunroof! Good luck.

If you're fine working with a salvage titled car, which both cars are, then I'd say go for the white one. It's got the more powerful engine, and the spoiler you like. Not having the sun roof kinda sucks. But as for the seats, you can always find the leather seats on the net and sell your cloth ones to help pay for it.

The black one has a smaller engine, more miles, and front end damage. The white one is simply cosmetic hail damage.

Go with the white one and simply swap the cloth seats for leather.

Plus the black one looks like the previous owner hacked it up. Those seats aren't factory. If you look at the front bumper lip, and side skirts, they're an after market body kit. The stick on hood scoop, etc. It's better just to stay away from that because to repair that it'll cost even more and can be harder to find the kits to match.

so they were swapped from an impala, i agree with getting the white one, you will enjoy the extra power and a sun roof isn't a big loss IMO
