    Which is better for a used car: lower kms or later model?

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Cruze Holden Cruze Advice Holden Cruze 2006 Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Yaris Toyota Yaris Advice Toyota Yaris 2011

    I'm looking at two cars with the idea of possibly buying one. One is a 2006 Holden Cruze that has done 86,000 km and is priced at $10,000, the other is a 2011 Toyota Yaris that has done 123,526km and is priced at $8,998. What would be the better choice, lower km or later model?

    The car with the lower kilometres can be an attractive proposition, but it's a Cruze and should be avoided as they have a terrible history of unreliability. The Yaris is smaller and it has done more kilometres, but it would seem to be a much better bet.
