part exchange. what should I expect for my car and what would you reccommend

I wish to part exchange my Citroen C5 1.6 Diesel estate (Grey) 61.000 miles full service history. Its a 59 registration.

I would like a medium hatchback, so I can get my dopey Labrador in. Petrol,chain cam and comfy. leather would be nice And as economical as possible. I only cover about 5-7 thousand miles per year. What about the Civic?

I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have and what I might expect for the Citroen. My budget is £8000 to £9000.

Thanks very much

Yes, you'll get a good Civic 1.8iES or SE for £8k - £9k. Best for comfort on 16" wheels rather than 17" or 18". The Citroen is probably worth about £4,500 - £5,000 in p/x. Depends on how badly is smells inside from carrying the dog. Dog smell can make a used car virtually impossible to sell on.
