I'm a dilemma. Currently have a 4yo smax where options either, give car back, buy it out,exchange it
Have been paying £163/month (I know great deal bought car at 1 yo with£4500 deposit
Would love an almost new smax again however for whatever reason my local dealers are struggling to find one with a doable budget and again looking at new ones where I'd put the equity I have in this car £1800 still would end up paying £350 a month
If we were to get a loan out for the reaming balance on the car(£8000) we'd be paying about £260 a month which j think is crazy considering the car is 4yo
I love my smax but wondering if the demand has gone a bit over the top hence the price?!
I started thinking I should look elsewhere like a VW touran or similar (nearly new) or something similar. Maybe they want my new business.
Any advice?
