I'm just not prepared to spend £10k on a newish car. The garage has already dropped the for sale price twice and sound as if they would give me a good trade in price for the kia.
If you cars are running well, with no issues, then why spend money replacing? Until the government sorts out the pile of s***, that is Brexit, and get round to clarifying the 'diesel question' personally I would wait and see, in any case I would not replace a car that is fulfilling its function for any reason, so hang on and see what happens, also don't forget it is a buyer's market so haggle hard when you decide to go ahead, remember in any negotiating, state your point and then say nothing let the other guy come back.
