Hi all, just a quick one; If you had two DC5's to choose between, both of equal good condition and the same spec, colour and year, which one of these two cars would you go for?

Car 1: Imported in 2009, has 50,000 miles on the clock, of which 20,000 have been driven in the UK.

Car 2: Imported in 2014, has 80,000 miles on the clock, of which 5,000 have been driven in the UK.

Cheers all smile

The newer import was undersealed and waxed and loved and cuddled when it arrived in 2014 and has been well looked after. They both drive very much the same, but the higher mileage one is in very slightly better condition and the underside is a lot cleaner.

Think I just have to get over my mental hangup about mileage and I suppose if a car has done 75,000 Jap miles and only 5,000 UK miles, the underside, the mechanicals, corrosion etc should be a lot better condition.
