If you get either of those cars you will inherit their problems because they are also old, old cars. Batteries are costly. Instead finish what you started and got deep into. Skip the paint, and solve the oil loss. Tint your windows DARK with good heat rejecting tint, to improve AC function. That's my thought, but I have been driving the same 1998 Civic since 2001 (240k miles on it now, and I am replacing a few more seals to stop an oil leak).
