Fiat Panda 4x4 - is there a depreciation sweet spot?

[Hugo Stiglitz]

I.e where the depreciation flattens out. So that if you buy now, in a year you could return most of the money?

Yep there certainly is.

I was lucky enough to pick up a 4x4 Twin Air, six month old 1000 mile ex-demo/customer courtesy car a couple of years ago which was about £2500 of list, at the time I don’t think many new cars were being sold as we were just coming out of a pandemic.

Just quickly looking on auto trader there are a couple of same year models, one at £11.5 k and one at £15.5 k, so I may not lose too much should I come to sell it.

Will I sell it? Most probably not, why ? I’d only replace it with another Panda and I would only ever get the Twin Air version, it’s the best of all the engine configurations. The only issue is that Fiat stopped making the Twin Air so there’s no new stock trickling into the market but it should keep used price higher. So if you could get a fairly "newish" you'd get a great car and maybe not lose too much.

There are many loyal fans of the 4x4 Twin Air, just pop over to the fiat forum (https://www.fiatforum.com/) and have mooch around. They’re a pretty friendly bunch in thereand we don't bite!
