2009 Crown Vic P71 or 1998 Crown Vic LX?

Still looking at crown vics just wanted to get your guys opinion. I don't know if the p71 is worth the extra milage and wear and tear or if i should go with an older Crown Vic with less miles and wear and tear. I don't want it to be an old man car, however don't entirely care what people think. Here are two i'm comparing. Just wondering if the engine is more powerful in the P71, and if they are maintained much better than the unknown owner of the LX.

Older 1998 Crown Vic LX:

Thanks for your time and i hope to hear from you!

I'm familiar with casa de cadillac from about 20 or so years ago, and they normally don't even stock an older vehicle like that BUT it has only 73000 miles, which averages to less than 4600 miles per year which is very good! Plus it has one previous owner… If you are more concerned with "power" then the 2009 is what you want with the V8, but I would get the 1999!
