Volvo V50 or Nissan Qashqai?

Volvo V50 or Nissan Qashqai?

Hello, I am hesitating between two models of car, V50 and Quashqai. I probably drive 10-15000km per year. Secondly, I will sell the car in 2 years as I will leave Ireland for professional reasons. I hope I could still get a good price in two years. Are there any aspects that I should consider in order to get a better selling price in 2 years? Which of the model devaluate more? Would it be better to go for a high mileage car but more recent or a low mileage car but older? Any advice would help

Our answer:

Hi Asmo,

Both cars are good, and both are reliable, but it’s the Qashqai that’s more in demand, so if you’re planning to sell up again in two years, that’s the one to go for. Don’t worry too much about mileage — a younger car with higher miles, but with a full and complete service history and in immaculate condition, will usually sell better than an older car with lower miles.
