I've had my old car for almost 10 years. I could get a few more years out of it but I took the plunge and got a new car. Both my old and new cars are Mazdas, the old a Miata and the new one a Mazda-3.
I've been thinking about a new car of some type that could be used for my massage work. That means it needs to be able to take a folded massage table into the back of it. This Mazda-3 hatchback has plenty of room for my table and more.
Also, there was a bunch of discounts and stuff that made it financially good to buy now. I even got a great price to trade in my 2007 Miata. 👍🏼
I do have to admit, I nearly got a tear in my eye as we drove off from the dealership and saw my Miata being driven into the back lot by the sales guy. One more nice feature Bina will ride in this one much more than the Miata. She did not like how low the Miata was.
