In comparison to what? a limo? A3 is one of the biggest hatches on the road. There's no difference between the interior space of an A3 and an A4 saloon, A3 has infact more rear leg room. (or are you now talking about mini's...confused again) |

a3. seemed rather claustrophobic to me just in general - not comparing it to anything specifically. i have rented superminis in portugal that have seemed roomier inside |

Not yet. They have to sent it within 14 days so you need to allow a few days for the post. Looking good though |

For anyone who's interest, I got £1022 from WeBuyAnyCar, very pleased (the online offer was £1395 based on good cosmetic condition). All in all a very simple process, and such a contrast to Evans Halshaw. Turned up, he inspected the car and made a note of a rusty chip on the bonnet and a scrape from where someone swiped me in a car park, took it for a 5 minute test drive (basically just out of the car park, round a roundabout and back again), and that was it. The cosmetic details were put into the WeBuyAnyCar "programme" and they took a set price off for each. Wasn't really interested in any of the mechanical issues "as long as it starts". He said it would most likely be sent to a dealers' auction. Even filled out my vehicle tax refund and V5C forms for me |

I think if the car was worth more and they still dropped it by 30% then obviously you'd be taking a bigger hit. But if the £300 for several cosmetic details is "standard", then £300 off a 5 or 10 grand car is still a decent lump in your pocket (no homo). |

what does 30% mean, did their original offer come to 30 per cent off the parkers book price for below average condition of youre model then? |
