    Keep the Focus that you are very happy with, use a push bike when you can, and use the £500 to pay off part of your debt.

    As said most of us would like to think our car can get top dollar, but £2k aint going happen for you, I'm in too on the business venture if you can get top dollar for current car. A 1.8 petrol which you and most people want to get rid of for the same reason to reduce petrol, so it's not going for top price. Better the devil you know, keep car unless you can sell for £2k and buy a top notch small engine car for £1k.

    Which isn't going to happen.;)

    My diesel takes 8 miles to get up to normal running temp at 70.

    2.2 miles still has it running stone cold, and the MPG not even in the 30's!

    I wouldn't bother... get a petrol.
    Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.

    If you are doing Gym and golf then the why worry about few £ on fuel..


    Expert help got it for you cheap get them to sell it for you.

    changing cars is not going to save you money if you have a good one that you can run into the ground.

    Keep what you have, any savings made on fuel will be swallowed up by the cost of changing vehicles/loss of road tax or buying new etc.

    Be careful, the OP obviously only wants to hear what he wants to hear.

    He may send you a PM if you tell him anything that he doesn't like.

    Tough.:D

    You must be about 40 foot tall. How do you fit in a Clio?
