Considering trading in Fiesta for new car.
Considering trading in 2011 Ford Fiesta petrol, 38k on clock, clean car, and main dealer looking for €10k to trade in against new Fiesta Zetec: 1 . Good offer or should I expect better trade in value ( new zetec €19k) 2. What alternative brands to Fiesta might I consider in terms of quality, kit, warranty and residual value at trade in. Thanks
Our answer:
Hi Tom,
I think you’ll be doing well to get €10k as a trade-in for your existing car. The normal level of trade-in for a Fiesta of that age would be closer to €6-8,000. As for other brands to consider, there are a lot of good cars in the supermini segment right now, so take a look at the Skoda Fabia, Honda Jazz, Hyundai i20, Citroen C3 and Toyota Yaris for starters.
