The lower mileage one definitely looks better, although I'd want to know more about what made it a salvage title if possible. Could just be something minor since the car is older and whatnot.
You could probably get the $2200 blue Phoenix one for under $2k; doubt you'd be able to get the NM one for any less than the $2k he's asking for -- someone's already messaged the seller over on Insight Central, although that obviously doesn't guarantee a sale.
As to whether it's a wise use of resources, that's something only you can decide.
