Hi there,
I am looking to buy a Mazda Axela 2.0l. The options I am looking at are a 2004 for $9.3k with 71km on the clock, the other is a 2007 for $8.8k with 111k. I prefer the colour of the 2007 car but it's not a deal breaker. Looking to keep the car for at least five years.
Are the benefits of a lower mileage (but older) vehicle worth the price difference in this situation?
Thanks!

Hi there,
The difference between the cars doesn't really warrant the $500 price difference.
In this instance the 2007 car would seem the more attractive offer, the km's are still acceptable for the year (a 10 year car would average 100,000-130,000km)
