You need to get a settlement figure and a valuation on your car, see how much the difference is and if you want to/can pay that.

That’s the simplest answer you will get.

If you are prepared to take a massive financial bath, then yes. No problem at all, but expect there to be a minimum of a £5,000 hole to fill just to get out.

To attempt to do so this soon just because you fancy a change would either make you very rich or very foolish.

I changed my last car after 6 months and I only lost £1200 but I did get a belter of a deal when I bought it and they were keen to do a deal on the new one.

Yes, i think thats the way forward. Lots of weekend toys can be bought that will have little or no depreciation. I bought a lovely Boxster for £6,750, ran it a year and sold it for £6,850.

So the dealer you bought it off gave you just £1,200 less for the car six months after you bought it, when trading it back in?

Is that the 2017 595?

What did they subsequently retail your car at? Presumably more than you bought it for in the first place?

They had it up for what I originally bought it for but that was less than they were originally asking for. A case of being in the right place at the right time I think.
