    Thanks for everyones advice I've decided to go for either a focus (5,000 miles) or an audi a3 (20,000) both listed for £13,000.

    Hoping to get at least £1,500 off (considering ford set to have facelift and the audi is a 12 plate) is that realistic?

    I personally think its unrealistic, but theres no harm in asking.

    As i've said previously though - better to get £100 off a car at £12995 than £1000 off the same car elsewhere at £13995.

    I'm struggling to understand why you're going to sepnd £13-14k on a car that will be worth 4-5k in 4 years with the mileage you're adding.

    Why don't you spend 5-6k on a 3-4 year old car, knowing that you'll maybe see a 1.5k-2k return in 4 years time.

    4 year old Leon with 50k on the clock & 3 year old Octovia would be similar money would fit into that bracket.
