Buying a used Audi A3 - can I trade in my Fiat 500?
I have a three year old Fiat 500 on a PCP agreement. The balloon payment due in Sept is £5000. I'd like to replace it with a used Audi A3 cabrio. Would a garage take the Fiat as part exchange and give a fair price? What prices should I be expected to pay for a five year old A3 cab? How do I sort this out so as not to lose too much cash?

You haven't given enough detail of the Fiat for us to check the price so you need to key these details in to www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/ in order to find out what it is worth right now, then relate that to the £5000 GFV that you will have to pay to keep it. If trade price now is already less than £5000 there is no point in paying the GFV then using the Fiat as a trade in because you will lose money. Just hand it back and walk away.
