    on paper, option 2 is the better option, right? 200k is a lot of km on anything other than a Toyota. But yeah, the “trust but verify” statement couldn’t be more applicable to buying a used car. We brought a second hand lancer recently and honestly couldnt be happier. The guy was nice, it was a good vibe but we still had a mechanic verify his claims which all checked out. Whatever you do, dont buy a Mazda 6 Diesel 🙃

      On paper, until the lack of logs and history came up. I’m starting to be of the view that it’s not just a matter of kms but how those kms were driven. For what it’s worth, car 1 was a Honda and car 2 a Hyundai. I’m sure Hondas can go on for quite a while…

      Noted re Mazda 6, I’ve seen a fair few pop up on my search. Am also avoiding anything diesel tbh
