the killer for it is £265 a year road tax for a 1.6 Zetec

i have no idea what she will look for now

As i said before, good luck in your hunt and i hope you get something great !

Well if she fancies a 14 year old a6 avant v6 2.5tdi Quattro sport give me a shout.....the road tax is equally horrendous if not higher, comes with a load of optional extras such as passenger door sometimes not shutting when its cold, rusty nearside front wheel arch, leaky gas struts for the tailgate (ill include my builders spirit level which i use as a prop), pixilated dash and rear electric windows that don't work on hot days.......less than 180000 on the clock. Great work horse! I'm gonna miss her!

We looked at Motability last year before we bought the Coupe as Sally is registered disabled, at the time you could get a new Audi but you needed to put £1000 down to get one, it may have changed now. We ended up looking at and test driving Skoda's which were nil deposit and we very nearly signed on the on the dotted line for an Octavia 1.2SE when we saw the coupe for sale. The pull of a classic Audi won the day, but we may well look at it again in the future
