I'm thinking of trading in my Hyundai for a Dacia Duster.

Hi, how much would I get trade off a new Duster? I have a 2004 Hyundai Coupé with 75,000 miles on clock and it's in very good condition.

Hi Kevin,

Not a lot is the unfortunate answer I'm afraid... A Hyundai Coupé of that age retails for between €2,500 and €3,500, and you can generally knock €1,000 to €1,500 off to find the trade-in value. On top of which, Dacia dealers are already operating on super-slim margins so as to keep the price of the cars down, so there's even less wiggle room for a decent trade-in than there might be with other dealers. Sorry about that...
