PCP buy the car or bail out?

Our PCP ends in November this year. Our mazda2 1.5 Sport 5 door will be 3 years old and will have done 18k miles. The conditions of the PCP were 24k miles. The final payment is £5k. Should we plan to buy the car or keep it? I enjoy driving it and am now using it as our main car. I feel that if we give it back, the finance house will get the benefit.

Sweet car. Great to drive. A 59 reg with 34k miles still trade books at £6,425 and November is only 4 months away. I'd pay the £5k and keep a car you like.
