which is better - getting a newer car or one with lower mileage?

By Bad

If both cars were priced the same but one was older (but lower mileage) and the other was newer by a year (but higher mileage, like 40,000 more), which car would be a better buy?

Not a trick question :) I'm asking since I find myself having to choose between the same model of cars with these two differences. Appreciate your thoughts!

You can not judge the price of car by its mileage, maybe the lower mileage had many accidents.

Many circumstances control the prices.

I preferred lower mileage. It is how much km the car was used and run it. New car with high mileage means the car is heavily used, you will faced some problems sooner or later.

it depends on the situation, what are the cars, their milages, their prices?

Go with lower mileage car which gives more return and value to your money

choose the lower mileage... if the year is changed, nothing main has changed in the car, so no need for higher year ,

Bro,

If price-wise is the same I suggest that you take the vehicle with the lower millage.

Cheers,
