I need a new car and have got it down to 2 cars.
I either want to get a Mazda 3 or a Fiesta:
1. The Mazda 3 is 2016, 1.5 TD SKYACTIV-D SE, 5dr, has done 16,000 miles, diesel and is priced at £10,000.
- I really like the car and they seem to have a good reputation, I'd buy this one outright and just keep it until it dies.
2. Using the Ford Privilege scheme I'd get a brand new Fiesta Zetec 1.1ti, petrol, 3 door, for £144 per month with £144 deposit.
- Using the scheme I'm able to swap the car for a new one after a year (but the monthly payments might go up or down by around £10-£20), I'd probably swap it every year for a new one, until my uncle (who provides the Privilege vouchers) passes away.
They both seem like good options to me.
My father has a Fiesta on the Privilege deal which I've driven and think is a nice car but I don't like the idea of PCP. At the same time having a new car every year is quite tempting and £144 seems like quite a low monthly payment for a new car.
If you were in my position what would you go for and why?
