Don't take 2013 car. When you sell, although considered as 2014 registration, people will look at year of make. So you rugi 1 year's depreciation - which very substantial. Not too sure, but I estimate to be around 10k-15K depreciation a year for 208 You might not know if you will sell or not - so many things can happen - promotion in job, migration, lemon car, lost job, etc. Better be safe.

Also when claiming insurance, if a car is 5 years and above, only recondition part will be given - not brand new parts. The insurance looks at year of make and not registration. These 2 reasons alone should make u not even consider the 2013 car - unless the discount can compensate for the depreciation which I highly doubt so. Hope this helps.

What I mean with insurance is that, let's say u get an accident at 2018 (5 years from now). If your car is 2013 make, then you will get recon parts, but if your car is 2014 make, then you will get brand new parts. So under insurance you get 1 year more assurance in mind that if anything happens in 2018, you'll get brand new parts. It's something which not many people know about.
