Used car: older/low km vs newer/high km?

[HULK_I6T]

When I bought my BF2 XR6 turbo almost 2 years ago for the same money I could have bought a used FG XR6 turbo or G6ET.. But with a lot more km... I decided on the mint low km as brand new BF2 instead.

Over the weekend, I was at a Birthday party showing a family member my XR6T and he asked what I paid for it...

When I told him he says "what isn't it a BF" You could have bought a FG xr6 turbo for that money..

I told him that its an as new car with only a few thousand km on the clock and with all options and leather. He responds with "no matter, the fg is the better car"

Whilst I agree the FG xr6t or G6ET is the better car but only when comparing new for new. But comparing a 7000km car vs 100,000km car, I don't think so.

For any price point you can always buy a minter low km older car or a average newer car.. What is your preference? Older and mint/low km or newer and average/higher km.

I would take the older (and even lower species car) that has the low km mint condition over a newer high km car.

Actually it bugs me when people buyer the roughest cheapest example of a particular model just to say they have one.. For instance if you have money to buy a neat BF xr6 turbo buy one. For the same money Don't buy the roughest G6ET with 150,000km just to say you have a G6ET.

Your thoughts?
