Good deal/ better deal?

my buddy's got his money right and is looking at getting into an ss!

they are hard to find in my area (chicagoland) so these are the two only choices really

Auto Showcase of Carol Stream | Pre-owned Dealer | Carol Stream, Illinois
Auto Showcase of Carol Stream | Pre-owned Dealer | Carol Stream, Illinois

06 ss supercharged with 40k, looks lightly modded (not sure if stg2 yet) for 13900ish

09 ss turbo with 51k for 16900, looks stock

they both look great nd i'm gonna go check them out tonight and probly test drive the sc cuz thats what my buddy thinks is better.
its the same place i got my car from and they went down more than 1500 on the price so chances are they will do the same for my friend.

also he's not too mechanically savvy and i doubt he's gonna get heavy into modding, so we're not talking all out power potential or anything like that, it needs to be a good dd. from what i've seen on here it seems the lsj's have less issues than lnfs...

thoughts?

That 06 seems way overpriced. I paid 13,5 for mine with 65k. I know I have more miles but still..
Try to get the newer 09 for a better price. 16 out the door seems like a good deal.
