Hi there, first time used car buyer here who would greatly value some expert opinion!

I'm just in the process of selling my Fiat 500, with the aim of upgrading to a used Audi TT mk2 and was wondering what the best way to do this was... I've currently got a buyer for my Fiat and only need a car for weekends so I'm tempted to sell now and to bide my time till September when there my be a new wave of TT's on the market. Is this a good idea or come september (and the change in plates), will it make no difference in the slightest?

From speaking to dealers around this point I get the impression that it's a slow point in the market with not may TT's around, and that come Sept people will be upgrading their PCP leases and getting rid of their 3-4yr old cars. I've got 10-11k so play with which will only get me in at the lower end of the TT market, so any tips and deals would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

If its a good offer for your 500 take it.

New registration ...there maybe a few more cars around to choose from, but it's not like the old days of August 1st where a glut of used cars appeared on the market ....
