  door 115bhp PD models are rare as hens teeth round here (well decent ones are anyway). A quick look for similar spec A3's reveals a lack of choice, and the ones I've seen have been a bit tatty. However, I've just had a brainwave about the new Seat Ibiza. It's built on a VAG chassis with VAG running

  the car using What Car?'s mileage adjusted valuations, and they place it at £3300 Dealer (Which this car is), £2800 private and £1500 trade (Which I assume is auction rate as well as tradein price). However, I'm not quite sure I trust it, as it also reckons a 50k 1998R 2.0 Ghia X is worth a staggering

Other cars I've considered have been the Leon Cupra - rejected due to the new model coming out later

  Driving back on a lovely stretch of route national from Lyon to Grenoble, France yesterday (it\'s 26C here, not that I want to rub it in or anything), I was costing downhill past a procession of lorries crawling up on the opposite side. My speed was about 100Kmh, the opposite side traffic

• Tapping Rover 75 2L V6 4 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  had heard this before on some other 75's and it was nothing to worry about although they failed to state what the problem is!

However £6.5K does not seem to go to far when looking at 850's, typically I am looking at a P reg. with almost a 100K on the clock for the engine size and trim spec I desire.
