Should I buy a used Ford Fiesta now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2018 model is at −9.18% versus a year ago, and the 2017 model is at −6.44%.

• Sweet-spot year: The 2018 model has the most listings at a current average price of $8,517. The Ford Fiesta offers a compact package with a more distinctive look and a personality that stands out in the subcompact class.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Fiesta offers a pair of engines, a standard 1.6-liter Ti-VCT 4-cylinder with 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque, and the surprising 1.0-liter 3-cylinder EcoBoost that’s available in SE models with 123 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: You can also get keyless access and push-button start, and a MyFordTouch audio system with touchscreen and navigation.
• Safety: The Fiesta is as safe as Ford can make it, with 7 standard airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2020 inventory to mature.
