URGENT - Lexus IS250 vs Lexus IS350

Hello, I have recently found two potential sellers for an IS250 and an IS350. The first car is a grey 2006 Lexus IS350 RWD with 178,000KM for 7.5k (price could potentially be lowered) The seller has offered to safety the car, although it has minor cosmetic imperfections on it (broken reflector on back right bumper, 2 small black marks below a small dent below the right tail light, minor black mark on right side of front bumper) the IS350 comes with winter tires, Navigation (no backup cam) with an optional 4 rims and 4 summer tires for 200$. Is this a good deal, is it worth it?

The second car is a white 2007 Lexus IS250 AWD with 176,854KM comes certified and safety ready off the lot. The car looks to be in mint condition besides the back left passenger window is missing a window rubber sealer.

Now I am wondering, which is the better deal? Should I opt for the 6k certified because on kbb.ca the dealer value is priced at 8,067$ and private valued at 8.496$ within the good condition category, leaving me with at least a 2,000$ profit margin. For me, the extra HP in the Is350 doesn't really make a difference, although it could make a difference on resale market value, as they are more sought after. Any thoughts, tips? I have limited time as I don't know how long these cars will remain, so any help would be appreciated. Any other questions I'd be happy to answer. Thank you Lexus Gurus!

cant speak to the deal itself but I think the 350 is a more peppier car and you would not get "used" to it as fast with the 250. I think the 250 will feel underpowered after a few months of driving.,
