    Running costs for diesel are now more expensive than for a petrol, especially if the petrol gets 35+ mpg

    Prices will drop for the next 6+ months, and in the present climate you have the dealer by the balls, he will accept anything just to shift stock, even though he will not give that impression.

    With the gap between petrol- diesel 10p+, as long as it is 7p+ petrol works out cheaper.

    People getting rid of motors particularly 2nd cars and downgrading, companies dumping them as they make redundancies etc.
    Of course the Car makers have huge surplus.

    Like Mr admin says shop around your get crazy prices.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    Sounds like it's time for me to buy that Audi A3 I want! Does anyone want to buy my Skoda? It's not just any Skoda it's got a heated rear window...keeps your hands warm when your pushing it! Hasn't passed it's MOT but it has past it's better years! The log book is so old it's written in latin! You can double the cars value by putting petrol in it! Any more Skoda jokes?

    (I love these old jokes! I just LOVE them!)

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    Sounds like a good plan! I don't think you'll regret it. I ran a series of Audis from 1996 (A4, A6, RS6 - and even the ex-wife's A2 ) and loved them. The only downside was the depreciation, buying new, then P/Xing. Total value of cars purchased in that time = £148k. PX/sale value = £57k.

    Nice Rover? Surely you didn't put these two words in the same sentance. And someone suggesting micra's? I really think some of you need to watch a few episodes of 'Top Gear'.
