Cx-5 purchasing advice
Good day,
I was hoping I'd be able to get some valuable ad ice on this reddit on their favourite car.
I'm currently looking at a CX-5 2L in South Africa, unfortunately it only comes in non-turbo edition and non 2.5L so we have the three trims active, dynamic and carbon with the bose sound system and parking sensors .etc
So currently deciding between the following:
1.2023 carbon edition trim 58 000km $26 300 2. 2025/26 dynamic trim demo 5000km for $31 300 3.new dynamic trim $35 500
P.S new carbon trim is too much 42k , I was hoping to keep around 25 but seeing the difference for a new lower trim level not too sure.
Unfortunately we don't have 0% finance available it's more like 7% and all options would be financed but with a decent deposit 10-20%.
What would you guys recommend?
Thanks!
