What's the best time to part-exchange a car?
We want to get rid of our Skoda Karoq before the manufacturer's warranty runs out on 28 February next year. When do you think the best time would be to p/x between now and then?

If you are part-exchanging your current vehicle then the dealer is unlikely to be particularly concerned about the amount of remaining warranty, unless of course it increases the value of it should they choose to sell it on rather than send it to auction, so it may be in your best interests to sell it sooner rather than later. Your car will also be six months older in February than it is now, so its value is likely to go only one way.
