As mentioned in a few other threads, back in 2015 I purchased a ex-demo 2014 Mazda3 (saved $8k of rrp)
Since doing this, I have had an idea floating around my head and want to get other peoples thoughts on it
In September the included 3 year service/support package runs out and my idea has been to "trade up" to another ex-demo Mazda3 in order to basically continue to have a "new car" and to continue getting free service and support. In 2016 the Mazda3 also got a small refresh and the base model got a few additional upgrades, so it would be nice to be able to take advantage.
In order for this plan to work, I would need to a) find a ex-demo car fits criteria (less than 6 months old, under 5k on the clock and with a decent saving over RRP) and b) get a significant trade-in on my current car as finances do not allow me to spend another $27k as I did back in 2015.
Also floating around my head to counter any of this is the thought - is spending $5, $7, $10k for a "new car" actually worth it or should I just keep the current model and keep it for 11 years as I did my last car ...
So, people's thoughts
Good plan? Stupid plan?
