Cheaper one!

The ex had a Mazda 3 from new that I used for work once I crashed the Daytona. Top car and go well.

I wouldnt buy the new one - too much depreciation in it. Nearly new is the way to go.

It's pre registered. Besides, Sam keeps her cars for so long depreciation isn't an issue.

Much depends on the mileage on the s/h one and the warranty offered. And what you intend to do with it. If you are going to keep it for 5+ years i would personally go new, with the full warranty.

Are both petrol cars?

How many miles on the s/h one? And how many miles will it cover each year in Sam's hands?

Do you need all the extras that come on the black one? If not, save £3k + depreciation and go for the red one

It is the Mazda red. I do like that colour.

But problem solved. We got a call yesterday from the dealer with a 2017 black Mazda 3 with all the bling. We struck up a deal which included an extended warranty and paint protection. My wife picks it up this week.

It might get confusing though. My wife refers to all vehicles (cars and motorbikes) by their colour.

We now have 2 black cars.

New black car / old black car?
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
