Should I keep or trade-in my Golf?
I have a 132 golf 1.6tdi with 122,000km. What's the best option financially keep driving for another 3+years or trade it in?!I currently do 35,000km driving a year. I bought the car with 45,000km on the dash in January 2015. Cheers for the help.
Our answer:
Hi Conor,
Generally speaking, the rule of thumb for maximum value is to buy at two years old and sell at five years old, so you're right on schedule. I'd start thinking about changing it before the end of the year, but don't be in a rush.
