Selling my Jazz CVT & getting a Kushaq or Taigun: Makes sense?

The car has done close to 43k. We are thinking should we continue holding it or sell it, given its discontinued and might be best time to get some value of it.

To Sell or Not

We own a 2018 Honda Jazz fully Automatic version, which is primarily driven by my father and wife. The car has done close to 43k. We are thinking should we continue holding it or sell it, given its discontinued and might be best time to get some value of it. My father is 75 years old, but actively drives, we recently replaced our Honda City with a Kushaq and now he himself is keen to get a German (either Kushaq or Taigun). Between, my father and wife the yearly usage is not more than 5k. Any thoughts from this group will help.

Here's what BHPian aston_martyr had to say on the matter:

It would be a good time to sell and make use of the discounts that are available almost all manufacturers across the range.

There are several options for a buyer right now and not to mention the sub-4m Skoda Kylaq coming in November, which you may favor since you are looking at Germans preferably.

Here's what BHPian jaysheth had to say on the matter:

Fully automatic Jazz is a gem of a car! No-nonsense, very spacious, and fuss free. Such gems are going to be more and more difficult to find. I would certainly keep it and continue using it if I were you or your father. Make sure you don't compromise on the safety aspects (tyre replacement if/as required, along with adding a TPMS if you don't already have, replacing engine oil, replacing CVT oil, wheel alignment, wheel balancing etc. at specified frequencies). This is most important considering your father's age, so that he continues to have a smooth experience.

Do not worry much about Jazz being discontinued. We knew that Jazz was going to be discontinued, but instead of avoiding, we went ahead and purchased our (brand new) Jazz VX CVT in September 2022. Shortly thereafter it was generally out of stock, before getting officially discontinued on 31st March 2023, but all spares etc. would be available for next 10 years at least, if not 15. Also all mechanics and most FNGs, having serviced the Jazz over decades, have an easy time servicing it. Today my friends and colleagues envy us as they cannot find a very reliable and spacious car such as Jazz, and we are very thankful for having bought it.

The NA petrol engine (as opposed to turbo petrol/GDI engines) with 4-cylinders (as opposed to 3), along with CVT (as opposed to jerky AMTs or unreliable DCTs) shout total comfort, very smooth drive with minimal NVH (thanks to 4-cylinders + extremely well refined engine), and most importantly peace of mind, especially for the elderly drivers like your father as well as lady drivers. There is hardly anything that can go wrong with this car provided we maintain it well.
