If it were me I'd go with the '04......the newer the better. The few extra miles don't mean much. Good luck whatever you decide.

Impossible to say which car is better.
I can only give MO and you didn't ask for that.
IMO, buy the 01. Less miles (about a year's worth for me) and you will have some cash to play with for some mods. Torch will be easier to keep as well. Black is great when clean no doubt, but that lasts about 10 minutes!
I must say, this is a great prob to have! Enjoy!

Black one looks to be a bit better deal assuming further negotiation won't widen the price spread. I think an extra $3500 for three years newer, and very similar miles, is worth paying. You can do a search and find differences between '01 and '04 which are very minor. HP and torque were increased in 2001 and remained the same thru 2004.
But if you plan on putting a lot of miles on the car you might think twice about a black one...they show everything...
Good luck -- you probably can't lose
