Buy now or in New Year

    Hoping to sell my car privately in the next few days, a 08 Passat, and upgrade to a 09/10 Avensis. Say if I can get a 09 Avensis for €5k now, would I be better off waiting till the first week in the New Year and maybe get a 2010 for the same price. Or would it be February or March by the time the prices start dropping, reflecting that the cars are a year older?

    IMHO, this is a great time of year to buy as not a lot of people out there with cash to buy so good opportunities to bargain. Also, the prices don't drop like a stone as soon as the calendar turns over.

    People selling now might be more inclined to take a bigger hit before the new year but if they still have their car in the New Year they may be more inclined to hold on to it till they get their asking price.

    Buy now if you are getting a good deal but be prepared for low ball offers on your own car too, swings and roundabouts as they say.
