I have two to choose from- both the same price.
Car one was registered in 2017. Great condition throughout, 11,000 miles on the clock.
OR
Car two, registered in 2018.
Great condition apart from a small scuff on one alloy. 30,000 miles on the clock.
Dealer is also offering a year’s road tax free.
I need to decide ASAP!

I'm not sure the first car will have a better resale value. If, in 10 years time, you've got a 2017 with 40000 miles on it and a 2018 with 60000 miles on it, they're both low mileage examples of the same car, both with tens of thousands of miles left in them and one is a year newer.

Both cars are literally identical! So there isn’t one I like more. I feel like I might prefer the newer car but then it has done over double the miles. Argh! Need to decide by morning!

It’s likely id keep it til it’s on its last legs so resale value isn’t SUCH a big issue.
