Hi all

 

I'm hoping next year to be looking for a used CR170 4x4 Elegance Yeti.

 

At the moment, there seem to be very few used ones around, and the prices are still a little out of my budget (2010 models with reasonable miles are mostly £15k+).

 

What effect do people think that A) the passage of another 6-9 months and the arrival of the FL model will have on availability & used values ?

Was hoping to pick one up for maybe around the £13k mark next year, but not sure how realistic that is.

 

Thoughts please

 

 

 

Looking at the prices it would appear the FL is not going to hurt them that much, many people like the pre facelift so prices will be strong.

I guess it depends whether you want to buy from a dealer (with the extra protection that offers) or are willing to entertain a private sale. There will be people like me here with a CR170 to sell, probably sometime in the next several months for me**, and if they were to receive an offer that compared favourably with any trade-in that they'd been offered then a deal could be done.

** I'm getting ready to change but was waiting until more details of the FL became clear. Sadly it's looking like Skoda/SUK haven't made enough changes to the Yeti (no more powerful petrol with DSG, no real change in engine performance, perverse distribution of high-end models between Elegance and L&K, no evidence of increased refinement etc) to keep me interested. But I haven't made a final decision as yet and wouldn't be looking to sell on the existing Yeti until the new vehicle was to hand.
