Buying a new car
I have an 04 reg Ford SportKA SE with 30000 miles, but have been told that after 6 to 7 years they may be prone to corrosion problems - cills and suspension supports - and it would be advisable to sell before expensive repairs become necessary.
The Ka has been a good and reliable motor and has a length dimension of 3620 mm - important as we park it on our forecourt in front of the single garage and fits on this area just off the road which has double yellow lines. Thus, I am asking for your suggestions on what to replace the Ka with if we were to choose another model - a five door car would be attractive if the length factor is right or near.
Taking the P/X value into account we could afford up to £15000.

That's right. See the review on the site. I don't have a database search be length. Maybe a KIA Venga or Hyundai ix20 would suit.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
