Going to be a silly question but what is S/R?

For me it would be down to the colour choice. The used car at 7,000 miles for 2K less is pretty good.

Personally, I would go for the used civic. You get your car now and as you said a few wee extras...

But then again Milano red is THE colour to get the civic in!

New - you know how it's been driven...

Used - it's already taken the burn on depreciation.

Depends on the extras and your colour preference....

You will get more extras on a demo, but the difference is nt that much compared to new. It all depends on if you are willing to wait months for a new car? You should be OK with a normal model, but with a CTR I'd buy new, which I have! I brought an Escort RS turbo once and it was used, it never ran right from the first day I owned it! Never again! I think I'll buy new from now on!

Take the new one, they obviously have it in stock for it to have a big discount.

The used is over priced.
