Advice on when to sell Hyundai Santa Fe
My Hyundai Santa Fe diesel auto has 62k miles, is 4 years old and hence still has one year warranty. The car has been and still is ideal for my needs and I have no particular wish to change it. However reading your comments on the expense of ageing diesels and, given the warranty situation, the next 12 months might be a good time to swap. Your advice as to the likely expenses to arise and the tactics to be adopted would be appreciated.

Here's all the feedback I've had. Can't tell you more than that:

One advantage of a 4 year old is that it won;t be fitted with a diesel particulate filter, which is a huge disadvantage of newer diesels, and all diesels sold this year.

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
