Hi,
I've been looking at buying a 14 plate car recently from a main dealer. should i buy it now, or wait until the new reg comes out next month and see what trade ins they get? the dealer wants me to close this month, and the price is good according to autotrader, but i'm not sure if waiting is the right thing to do. i'm really keen and have found the car i like, but they're not hanging around on the forecourt too long, and i don't want to miss out. given the reg and mileage won't change on the car i have picked out, will the price dip when the new wave of trade-ins ? i'm guessing the trade ins will be more expensive as they are younger. any tips?

Wait and see. Be warned that there will always be more cars coming in, possibly better than whatever you buy, and if you actually want a car, you have to buy one sometime.
I would have advised that if the one you are thinking of is "the car for you" that you buy it, but as you are having second thoughts before you even buy it, then it can't be.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

That one doesn't appear to be on their website. There are a couple of E class that are and below that price level. I had a E class Avantgarde saloon that I paid 16k at 2.5 years old from a main MB dealer in South Wales. Was bought about this time of the year 4 years ago.0 -

Whats the spec and the engine?
Heres a decent spec'd E220CDI, albeit not an Approved Used one, for quite a bit less?
