Looking to buy a second car
Narrowed down the choices to just two - Corolla SX Hybrid & Mazda G20 Pure.
Both cars are nice to drive, but the Mazda was nicer interior-wise, more roomier at the back and had a bigger boot. The Mazda was also cheaper at $2K less ($32K vs $34K) and both are looking at a 4-5 month wait.
So it comes down to this. Is it worth paying the extra $2K for the Hybrid option given that:
- Driving will be mostly limited to urban (Canberra) and the occasional trip to Sydney (2-3 times a year)
- Plan is to keep the car for 6-7 years and then replace with a fully electric car - so will it be easier to sell a hybrid than a ICE car in 2028 for example?
Appreciate any advice people may have and also on ways to negotiate the price down (for example went to two Toyota dealers in Canberra and both offered the same price)
Buy the car you will enjoy driving the most for the next 6 years.
