Should I trade my Optima for an Audi?
Is it worth trading 2016 Kia Optima 54,000 km for a new 2017 Audi A3 Saloon S-line for 13,000 Euro or would it be best to wait until 2018 to consider a new one
Our answer:
Hi Helen,
Well, that sounds like a bit of a stiff cost of change considering that the Kia is the bigger car. If you want to get the best value, it’s definitely best to buy now. There are no major updates due for the A3 for the next few months, so there’s going to be no significant difference between now and early 2018, but you’ll get a better deal if you buy before Christmas because dealerships are echoing and they’ll be keen to shift some metal.
