Going back to my question though, assuming both cars are well maintained (either via casa or talyer), which one would perform better after 10 years? I guess my general concern is the quality of the car (body, engine, etc.) beyond the usual ownership period of 5 years.
my guess is, "as it was in the beginning, shall it be in 10 years", provided the cars were maintained properly.
hence my earlier comment on which will be more expensive to maintain.
