I am thinking of changing our Pulsar which is 2016 (April) 1.5dCi Tekna with 18k miles. Shocked to learn that book price is £9,900. We still owe 11k plus on our PCP. Our dealer said they would try to help on the trade in to get nearer the settlement value if traded against a new Nissan. We are looking to the new Juke which I am told will be here first quarter of 2018.
I gather that the Pulsar is a heavy deprciating model and being diesel does not help with trade prices. I am hoping that the value might level off over the next few months but who knows.

A quick look about on t'internet would suggest that the valuation is at least a couple of grand shy. Sale prices for your model/approx mileage vary greatly (as do most cars) but seem to be in the 11-14.5k range.
Unfortunately, all cars suffer their highest depreciation within the first 3/4 years. What you're looking to do is unlikely to end with a great deal -
1. You're wanting to p/ex with a main dealer
2. A car still within it's highest depreciation period
3. Buying or negotiating on a car that's not as yet for sale so will be in it's highest demand period and thus no discounting needed.
