WANTING TO PURCHASE JAP IMPORT. TWO CHOICES
2006, done 115,000 km, asking price $12,000
2004, done 94,000km, asking price $11,000
Is it better to buy a older car with lower km on clock, or newer vehicle with higher kms.
Expect to own vehicle for about 2-3 years.
Both have the features we are looking for.

No brainer for me, go for the newer model, the odo difference is not an issue.

At this mileage both vehicles are probably due for a full service anyway so you are not going to gain or lose either way in this regard either.
