Old and new
« on: July 28, 2016, 07:29:46 pm »
I've now had two Mazda 6s. Sure, there will be others who've had more - and possibly better - but I'm satisfied.

The first was a Mazda 6 Sport Manual 2.0 'W' reg. It came to me with just under 50k miles and I chickened out at 211,000 miles. Everything still worked fine.

This Mazda 6 T2 Estate 2.0 Auto now has 101,000 miles, from 62k. Mostly fien, except the door undercills are showing rust-rot.

Maybe I should get it fixed....

If you like the car still and it's running fine, if the repair is not too expensive against the value today of the car,
might be well worth it. Depends on your estimate of how long,in your opinion  the car will do you good service.?

Generally, new cars have high depreciation costs. Older cars have higher repair costs. It's a balance of cost against reliability. If you are happy with the car and it hasn't cost too much, repair wise, so far, then it's worth doing the repair.
