I think my car advice thread is still on this page :lol:.
On it's way out:
2010 matrix (a/c died, windshield cracked, paint bubbled and rusted, bumper cracked, sensor dead, brake rotor pad and possibly caliper dead) at a lovely 335k km. It did well - bought it for city driving, ended up commuting in it. Held all my gear, didn't kill me, was mostly easy to maintain. Toyota has done alright by me.
Picking up this week:
2017 Mazda CX-5. CPO, 9940km, White. This one is the GS trim, which has changed from the 2016 GS trim I was previously looking at getting. While the colour isn't my first pick, this thing is practically brand new. Being a CPO we got a little break on financing and extended warranty. It's a really nice vehicle (to me, not you guys in luxury cars :lol
.
We didn't get much of a break on pricing, but it was cheaper than the demo car at another dealer with less than half the mileage. I do plan to baby this one a lot more. Going to stake out a new parking spot at work today :lol:. Looking forward to lots of memories with this thing.
Thanks to everyone who offered their help in my searching.
