Default Buying Old vs. New

If you're wanting to get the most from an "under $200-300" purchase what do you think would make for a better purchase . . .

Something like an older, aged guitar with a few dings or
a new, (fresh wood) guitar with no blemishes

I think the aged guitar may have a better tone. Examples are:
A 1995 Alvarez 2555S Silver Anniversary with a few dings for $200,
a 2012 Yamaha FG-700S with only 2 minor blemishes for $100, and
new, entry-level Fender/Squier/Ibanez guitars for +- $100
