2nd hand 172, or new 182

[Ads_172]

Basically Ive had my heart set on a Phase 1 172 for a while, and will be getting a loan in October which will then mean I can afford to buy one.

But... Im just wondering whether it would be a wiser decision to get a new 182 on finance, end up paying approximately the same monthly payments and just trade in in 3 years or so?

What do you people think?

here my 2p worth

10k bank loan over 5 yrs 6.4% @ 195.19 p/m

buy at 04 plate 182 for 10k (or even mine at £9500 WOW WHAT A BARGIN)

after 2 1/2 years you will owe circa £5800 (50/50 rule)

car will be worth 6.5k or so?
