I'm in Holland and thinking of buying a CX5 as a general family mobile. Has to be a petrol automatic. Must have heated seats and ideally leather.

Not fussed about 4wd either way - does it bring much additional cost penalties for running and servicing?

I've seen two particularly nice models at Mazda main dealers:

First one is a 2015 2.0 TS+ 2WD, with 88,000 miles on the clock. 1 owner car. Originally sold by the main dealer which is now re-selling it. Full service history with them. Condition looks good. Price EUR 19.995

Second one is a 2014 GT-M 4WD with 59,000 miles on the clock. 1 owner - not sure about service history yet but I assume it's complete.

Any particular things to look out for, or thoughts on either of these models? The ownership record and paperwork from the first one is reassuring, but it is higher mileage. Is 88,000 miles much on these motors? Am I likely to be able to run it for another 6-7 years? Mileage is just for family run about and holidays etc, not daily usage so wont' be high.
