Always a tricky question. When should you change your car? Many factors to be taken into account, such as do you buy in December when the run-out of the year produces bargains, but on the other side of the coin, one month later in January the car is “last years” and superseded. And to add to the problems, the “new” car you buy in January might be log booked December of the previous year.
You should also take into account when is the next model of your car going to be released, thus forcing down the value of your car, then being a “run-out” model.
Courtesy of the Thailand Auto Book here are some dates for the new models:
2016: Accord, March, Civic
2017: Brio, Jazz, City, CRV, Camry
2018: Commuter, HiAce, D-Max, Lancer, Almera, Sylphy, Accord, Brio/Amaze
2019: Vios, Yaris, Mirage, Pulsar, Teana, Jazz
2020: Corolla, X-Trail
Looking at that list, for example it would indicate an upgrade of the Accord next year and also of the Nissan March. It would also look as if Vios and Corolla are going to stay the same for a while, so could be a good buy next year.
