Good time to buy?

Is it a good time to buy a 09 reg Kia Picanto, what with the new model Picanto coming out soon? Does the price of the old model drop a lot when the new model comes out?

The price of a car that's already 2 years old won't drop a lot, especially as the new Picanto will be in a slightly higher price bracket from the old one. Just don't go for a high spec 09.
