Ask an expert

I'm looking at two Mazda Verisas, one is 2004, 37kms and the other is 2007 with 97kms, both about the same price. Would you recommend one over the other? And generally speaking do you think it's better to get a newer model or a car with lower mileage? Thanks, Fiona.

Hi Fiona,
I would recommend buying the newest car that your budget allows. This will ensure that you are getting a vehicle with the highest potential for having the latest safety features possible, which we would say, out trumps a slightly higher mileage.
