I bought a Fiat 500C for £9995 in April and now they'll only give me £7000 to trade it in - what do I do?

I bought a 2014 Fiat 500C in April for £9995, but soon realised the little boot opening is not good enough for me. I enquired about exchanging it for hatchback version but only got offered £7000 for mine, after only a few months of having it and with hardly any added mileage. I feel very much ripped off.

Nothing much you can do about that other than try to sell it yourself while it's still summer and while buyers crave convertibles. See what WeWantAnyCar and WeBuyAnyCar will offer you on the basis of your reg, mileage and description.
