Older premium car or newer Mazda?
What would your advice be regarding buying a 3/4 premium used car with relatively low mileage versus a nearly new used/ex demo (i.e. Mazda 6 Platinum)? The cost of parts/servicing a premium brand scares me. Thanks in advance
Our answer:
Hi Tom,
Many premium cars now come with inclusive service plans and good second hand warranties, but if cost and hassle are priorities then go for the Mazda. Lovely to drive and endlessly reliable. Good looking too.
