 Hello All,

I have a question.
I want to buy the Picasso 5 seats Exclusive.

But does it make sense to buy a model from 2013 in 2016?
Shouldn't be better wait until next Picasso 4 release?

Thank you for your feedback.
Regards to all

 Well, it's 3 years old so out of warranty (or nearly) & hopefully all the initial issues have been fixed under warranty.

Do you want to buy a car that's 3 years old? Of course you can wait & buy the new model when it is launched but when will that be? The original was launched in 2006 & replaced in 2013. Will Citroen release the next model in 4 years time? Can you wait that long?

 It's not even 3 years old and there will be at least another 4 years before the next one is released - it's a lovely car, but one!

 Thank you all for your feedback.
Actually, I want to buy a new picasso C4 5 seats. This means that although it's a brand new car built on 2016, it stills a model from 2013. But you might be right ... probably the next model will be in the next 4 years and I can't wait that long.

Thank you both !

My logic says that 3 years is just about right to have corrected the inevitable design issues - especially on a car that is a step change from previous designs.

Cheers,

 Remembering a newer model 4 years down the line will not only be significantly more expensive but less well equipped compared to an equivalent model today. The Citroen accountants Midas touch in the companies favour.
