New car, or 3-4 year old?

Options
Been thinkig of changing my car.

Looking at a Renault Clio, but 51 plate one`s are around £4k. But saw an add for a 55 Plate £5995. At the main dealer, need to ring them and see what you get.

Only really wanted to spend £4k which I will have to get a loan for. But now I wounder if I should go for this deal?

Any ideas?
JAN Grocery Challange £200
Spent £154.88

FEB Grocery Challange £175 21-1 to 20-2
Spent to date £49.13

    This is the reason so many people buy new, in the supermini sized market.

    With such good GENUINE discounts from car makers, low/cheap finance, it's well worth checking out what you can REALLY afford - it might not be much more/month getting a new car 0% than paying interest on an older one, via bank loans.

    Take a peek in https://www.honestjohn.co.uk clik on This Weeks Best Deals on the column to the right of his home page. There will be indications of up to date good offers - gives you an idea of what you can expect to pay.

    Even if the offers there are miles away from your town, print off a copy & get your local dealer to DEAL!!
