low mileage mk3 or mk2.5 - which should I buy?

[brianmac]

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am looking to purchase a CRV mk2.5 (2006 - 66k miles) or mk3 (2008 - 33k miles) - both 2.0 petrol and I am not sure which to go for.

The 2006 is costing about 2,000 Sterling and the lower mileage 2008 is about 4,000 sterling. The 2006 has an up to date MOT but the MOT on the 2008 is about to expire.

I am looking for a low mileage version as I plan to convert to LPG and the investment (about 1,000 sterling) only makes sense if I keep the car for 3+ years.

Which one do you think I should go for?

Many thanks

I personally would go for the mk3 as it has newer technology and the drive is vastly improved over the mk2.

However, the mk2 is very reliable and I don't think there would be too many issues with either to be honest.

Check that the mk3 can run LPG safely (engine design)

Personal preference really!
