Hi Aron,

Unless the oft-spoken of ban on diesel-engined cars getting into city centres comes about, then no I don’t reckon it’s a car you’ll ever have trouble moving on. The 320d is regularly right up there in the most searched-for cars on Carzone, so its perennially popular. In terms of holding on to value, it’s best to go for a dark metallic colour and make sure it has leather seats and an automatic gearbox. Other than that, the best way to retain value is to look after it – a full main dealer service history, for instance, can be worth as much as €1,500 come resale time and keeping a big folder stuffed with receipts for services, tyres, oil, filters as well as NCT certs, tax discs and anything else you spend money on would always be of help.
