buying new Mazda need some input

My 00 protege is about dead and taxes are in so im looking to get a 3 hatchback not just for the sporty look but cause of the boot size (I have 2 little ones).
Money is tight year round till tax season buying a car that will need alot of money put into a year down the road is not an option. So heres what im getting at ive found 2 cars 1. Has 125k miles and is $8k and the other is $10k but only 62k miles. Both 5speedmazda3 hatch.
The one with less miles seems like the right choice but im not sure. Just looking for some advice
 
Claming 2 kids on my taxes gets me a extra 8k a year so ill be paying a year of payments every time I get my taxes so yeah I got the money. Just worried something major will go on the car in the next 10k miles if I get the one with 65k miles. Ill post some links so yall can really see what im looking at.

God thoughs links are huge hope they work
 
I would stay a way from black cars, they show up eveything and are a pain to keep looking good. The one with 65k miles looks like the go to me.
 
yup thats the one im going with ill be taking the drive this coming weekend trading in the protege (even tho i feel bad about it) just hit 150k with her today. ill post some pics when i get home with the new ride.

any suggestions on what to name her?
