but in general i keep hitting this same choice regardless of the model vehicle
same value...1 is older w low miles 1 is newer w higher miles
would you rather have the newer version with cooler tech and better body style but the engine has been run harder? or vice versa... ( no nissan versas please )
I was just thinking that you'll probably put way more than 50k miles on your car in 7 years so you might as well buy the newer one
Plus, a 12 year old car is really really old. Does it have blue tooth? 2019 prob does. The tech alone is prob way better. Parts not as old, more efficient...Also, in terms of gas mileage (since you mention it) you'll probably do better with the newer car. Dunno about efficiency standards but they do go up over time. Dunno if that's applicable between the 2 cars. Also the tech for gas usage also improves over time
If you don't care about any of that, then I guess consider your own usage? If you're just going to beat this sucker up then maybe you just want the one that had 10k per year usage v 30k per year...
Also, consider resale value
