Of course prices may be different in the UK. Unless you have a lot more miles (over 12,000) and dents or dings I would hold off on a trade. Also note that trading any car within one year is a no-no. You will get almost the same price after two years on a trade.
Well, I did get $23,500 offer for my car trade in when i was trying to trade it in on a gto. But i had only 1000 miles on my car. Now I see crossfires advertised retail for around 24900 and in alot of cases less. With low miles also. 4-8k miles. Looks like I have to ride this car out.
