Suzuki's Celerio is a lovable little vehicle that sings character at a reasonable price and sports some first-in-its-range features, such as Start-Stop tech to minimise fuel consumption. Speaking of, when it launched, it had one of the lowest fuel consumption figures at 4.2L/100km in the AMT version and 4.4L/100km for the manual variant. Given that value for money, what would the resale value be for a Celerio?

What is the difference between trade and retail values?
There's quite a substantial difference between trade and retail values, with trade being significantly lower than the retail value (as much as 20% lower, in most cases). This is mainly because there's a markup for dealers built into the retail value – buying cheap and selling dear, as it were. Of course, these values are somewhat arbitrary and can be influenced by the popularity of your specific car in the second-hand market and its reputation among pre-owned dealers. - Martin Pretorius

What affects the value of your Suzuki Celerio?
There are a few things that affect value:
- The model year. A newer car commands a higher price.
- The car's condition: The better the vehicle's condition, the higher the price. Higher mileage also affects this. A comprehensive service history and other factors, such as a clean car, also raise value.
- Features: Additional features can also affect value, but it is not always a given that a car with more features will cost more than one with fewer features. Modifications don't tend to add value.
- Location: Cars in high-demand areas frequently cost more than those in low-demand areas.
- Demand: Cars with high demand typically fetch a higher price than those with low demand.
