Take the Honda Civic...

Take the Honda Civic as an example. Although the striking new model arrived on forecourts earlier this month, it has yet to hit values of its predecessor, the MkV. As such, used buyers are being advised to wait a few months before striking a deal. Jeff Paterson, senior cars editor at trade bible Glass"s Guide, told Auto Express: "Honda is one of the few brands whose outgoing models experience a price rise when a replacement appears." However, the effect typically lasts only a few months, so buying a used Civic MkV should make perfect sense by late spring.
