Advice please - PCP

We bought a brand new mini cooper in 2007, the month before I got pregnant, and we've been managing with this (just!!!) but have decided that we need to trade in and get something with more space!

We're looking at a new A3 (costing 17,000 - £18,000) and were wondering whether there is anywhere we could put the full part-ex value of the mini down as deposit (we've been quoted approx £10,000) for a PCP. It would be best for us to do this as we still have 2 years outstanding on a personal loan used to fund the Mini

Thanks in advance

    Has an A3 got more space?

    OK its a little bigger and had has 5 doors but I imagine the cost of change will be quite expensive.
  • It's going to be a bit more expensive - but we're sick of the Mini and want something which is going to hold its value. The space in the Mini is non-existent and we've had loads of problems with it, so really want it gone before the 3 years run out
