help me choose

2009 hyundai sonata limited sedan 4D vs 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5 s sedan 4D

hyundai: 214,000 miles, slight rust on the outside in one section, possibly needs a starter, safer according to the crash test ratings, may be more reliable than the nissan, obviously it's newer

nissan: 144,000 miles, small hole in passenger floorboard (not structural...whatever that entails) but no mechanical issues, owner is unsure if it has side air bags (i know u can check the inside of the car for them but i haven't seen it in person yet), 2005 is rated as a bad year for altimas & i know a lot of people dislike nissan

both are $2000
