Buying advice ?

We are looking to buy a 62 plate Fiesta this weekend and wondered if anyone in the know could tell us if it would be better to wait until after 1st September when people may have traded in this type of car for a new one , or will it not really make much difference to the price.
Do dealers reduce second hand cars significantly after this date ?
Any advice would be appreciated.

    Probably not, no. The used cars they have now are the ones they'll be selling come 1st September.

    Check nationally for the best price and dont be afraid to travel for the right car.

    You might well get a better price this weekend if the salesman hasn't yet reached his monthly sales targets.


    It's only really 14 plates that will drop a bit as they won't be the latest plate anymore.
