However the only caveat I would add is that having sold cars via Autotrader myself, there are so many time wasters - and it can take you some time to sell it. If you have a good car though then I agree that you will almost always get a better price... if you can deal with the hassle of time wasters, viewings and calls etc. Thanks |

Depends on how much you shop around. This Inscription one works out at £7k/year on a personal lease and you're not paying interest on finance on top if you're using a bank loan to fund it a cash purchase (or losing interest on your money in a bank account, although not much these days!).
If you can get the £599 3-year maintenance on top, then comes out in the wash as a bit less than buying. Plus absolutely zero hassle at the end of the term and just hand it back. Equally, if the government were to step in and heavily tax diesels or petrols in the coming 4 years, that may impact 2nd hand values. No risk at all with a lease. Horses for courses I admit.....

It would have to be said that a newer model is going to have a lot of improved and more reliable parts from ongoing modifications than the early version. An early car needs good warranty cover, as you said a door lock went...£400 ish? warranty is insurance at the end of the day and if keeping the car some big bills will likely come along sooner or later, i guess it comes down to your glass half full/empty approach to life!

An update
Well I decided to trade in my 65 plate XC90 D5 Momentum £23K with 32K miles for a 67 plate 18 model year Momentum Pro £32K with 11K miles.
Key differences The new car has air suspension. It definitely rides smoother than the old car, and the function of lowering the car when you park is helpful for people with kids or mobility issues. The engine of the newer car feels smoother than my old one with better gear changes and less engine noise. In general I feel there is less road noise from the newer car. It may be my imagination but I feel the general fit is better, softer door closers etc. I'm hoping this car with the 1 year Selekt + a 2 year additional warranty extension for £850 will keep us going a while... until electric cars and the charging infrastructure has made more leaps forward. It also came with the media server and Ipad cradles - both of which are expensive options but old tech now. My other car is a Tesla Model 3, which is great as a daily driver but not for long haul trips in my personal opinion. |

Thought I'd add our experience of trading up yesterday..
Out: XC90 MY16 D5 Inscription with 39,000 miles - traded in for £25k (had quite a bit of minor cosmetic damage) In: brand new (in stock unregistered) XC90 T8 R-design in Onyx black with climate pack, lounge pack, driver assist, smartphone integration, retractable towbar, type 2 cable, 5 year servicing, PDI and all the insurance covers - £60k with half through 0% finance over 3 years (including £4k volvo contribution) Whilst it was an event, looks like the (up to) £4k contribution and 0% finance might be an offer across the board for deliveries before Christmas |
