Should I trade in my Suzuki for a Renault Fluence?

Filed under: choosing used car

The question

What trade-in price could I expect on a 2009 Suzuki SX4 saloon with 44,000km on the clock against a 2011 Renault Fluence? I expect to be driving a lot more mileage in the next few years.

Thank you.

Hi David,

To be honest, I'd be tempted to hang on to the SX4. Suzukis are generally astonishingly reliable, whereas with the best will in the world, Renaults are not. Even if your mileage is increasing, there are cheap and simple ways to improve your economy (a tune-up, low rolling resistance tyres, practice) so my best advice is to stick with what you've got. 

In the meantime, I'd say you're looking at a trade in value of around €8-9,000.
