No matter how much you love your car, there will come a time when it’s due an upgrade. When you outgrow your car, or it starts being unreliable – the decision to upgrade is easy!
But what about when your vehicle is still pretty reliable and upgrading isn’t such an obvious choice?
It’s common knowledge that the minute you drive your car off the forecourt, it loses value! Cars depreciate quickly and it will only be worth someone purchasing second hand is the price is right.

Your cars market value will be higher if it still has about 12 months of warranty left, it will make it much easier to sell or trade in!

Of course, sometimes you will drive your car until the day it dies. If it has become increasingly unreliable, is costing you a fortune in repairs or maintenance or has clonked out completely, then it’s time to cut your losses and sell it, or sell for parts if it isn’t safe for someone else to purchase.
