Slightly used or high mileage for the mile muncher that I am?
Hi guys,
I’m looking for a car to visit potential clients around Europe. I expect to drive around 125k KM in the coming three years. (= 40k KM a year). After that, I’d sell the car.
My dream car is a 991S cab, but unless the majority here say GO FOR IT, it don’t think it’s a smart financial move.
I really like the Panamera - much preferred over an S-class, and 2012 models can be had for a lot less than the 911.
If you were in my shoes, would you:
A) buy a low mileage car (under 50k KM for 40k EUR), put 125k KM on it and sell it.
B) buy a high mileage car (125K KM for 30k EUR), put 125k KM on it and sell it.
What’s the best way to do this, bearing in mind repair costs (that are higher in B), depreciation (higher in A), and difficulty of reselling later on (higher in B).
Any other tips you’d give a first time owner? Based in Europe.
All the best,
Michael Grey
