Yes, if you’re upgrading then hold off as a general rule, I think car prices are 15-20% higher than before there were new cars availability issues. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Well I moved from a classic to a p38 in 2000 then in 2012 to the l322 so maybe next year or the year after to the 405 and still have the others Especially as prices are a bit ott |

I had the last one for 5 years, and it was still a reluctant sale. If you still enjoy it why change 🤷♂️ I personally find the process quite stressful. Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Mine is on 220k miles and no faults on 11D the first guy that owned it did everything to it pulley on s/c etc etc and it has a FBH which is unusual in a petrol so we shall wait and see |

I tend to start looking after 3 years but with a very specific requirement for colour, engine etc. Had the current car just over 3 years and its been faultless, so no screaming rush to change, especially at current prices. As noted they are at least 15-20% too high at the moment, so no sense changing yet. |

The key thing for me is the enjoyment of ownership. If you still get that kick every time you drive it, keep it and maintain it. When the enjoyment wears off or you really fancy a change, sell it. Kev
