Default Need advice on buying a used car

Hey Bros! I need an advice. I want to buy a cheap used Chevrolet. This is the first car for my wife. I have found some options https://incacar.com/used/cars/chevro...u-1LT-1448407/ .
Which transaction option is more profitable? Thx

Welcome from Florida. What do you mean profitable? I opened the link and there is only one car there. What is the other option. The Malibu looks like a nice car, but in my opinion it has a lot of miles for a 7 year old car. That's over 20k a year.

I agree. If it was known to be freeway miles with none of the stop and go in deep traffic, it might be okay, but no way of knowing that. I'll bet the transmission fluid has never been changed either. On my 2015 Bu' it's getting ATF fluid change with 4.5 quarts of Dex 6 every 20-25 thousand miles since there is no way to change the filter. Maybe I am old fashioned, but ATF is cheaper then a rebuilt or new transmission. I simply do not believe in "lifetime" transmission fluid, no matter synthetic or how well it is formulated.
