Are you bent on the 6 cyl? If the 3.8L was the same in 94-95 as 96+, then go for the lower mileage. Google it to see if the engine was updated or anything from 96

See if either have had the head gaskets replaced yet. That's the biggest issue within those years. Other than that, I vote the lower milage car.
