Pre loved Icandy vs new panorama xti pram

I'm due my baby in March and my neighbour has offered to give me her icandy peach 3 - it's been used for 2 children but in great condition. It has a carrycot but I would need to buy a new car seat and rain cover / footmuff.

The other option is buying a new panorama xti pram for £370

I'm torn on what to do - the maxi cosi cabriofix would be about £170 then say another 50 or so for the accessories I'd need for the icandy so around £100 less than the panorama.

The panorama just seems a bit more modern style looks wise but I'm aware it's a lot cheaper than an icandy and might not wear as well. I'm a bit worried the icandy won't be as good as newer prams handling wise etc and could be quite big and bulky when folding into the car.

Just wondering what others would do in my situation or to hear from anyone that had an icandy peach 3 and if they'd recommend it? I haven't had a chance to test it out as she still has it in storage whereas I've tried and liked the panorama. If I could save the money by not buying a pram that would be a bonus though as we have to buy everything else for this baby after (stupidly) getting rid ofeverything after our last baby.

I have a second hand icandy lime. It is brilliant. No problems with steering or folding. A screw for the basket underneath came loose and got lost about 6 months after we got it and icandy replaced the piece for free without even asking for proof of purchase. I would definitely go for the second hand option, especially since you don't know yet whether this baby will be willing to spend time in a pram. My first couldn't stand the bassinet and would only go in a sling til 6 months.
