Firstly let me say I love my Puma, which is why the dilemma

because of the current chip issue I'm finding that I can make around £8k profit (£25k total) if I trade my car in right now for another. I'm fairly certain in a couple of months this will diminish greatly as more cars are produced

do I trade my lovely car in now or just carry on driving it until i want to change?

I have driven Fords all my life but as I'm feeling the urge to go electric now, and don't need a mach e, there is no other ford full electric available, and none on the horizon from what i can see, so I would probably be looking at a VW ID3 or maybe Hyundai Kona E

Electric Puma rumoured for 2023. If you cash in now it's almost impossible to get a new car for many months. It's a tough choice

Over the past week or so we have pondered the same dilemma, and it's all down to the mpg the auto is getting.

I feel like if we were to change then with the way prices are atm, it would have to be pretty much now or never. We wouldn't make a profit but would get back what we have put into the car.
