Surely you would lose out by ending the pcp early.

I'd sell the 2 cars you own, keep the st on finance. Then buy a cheap Reliable derv family wagon.

It might be best if I find out if there is any equity in the newer ST, she traded in a car as the deposit for it, and it was a good deal plus we got the Ford Privilege discount on it too.

What dervs would fit the bill?

Skoda Octavia VRS TDI, These can be had for less than £16k new if you shop around.

[lglynn]

Preferably I want something that has already shed a bit of value, are the used Octy VRS TDI's a good bargain?

I'd deffinatly look towards the VAG offerings, they have an awful lot of travel on the front seats for taller gents. I'm nearly the same height as you & have issues with alot of cars.

My Passat is the only car i've ever driven where I don't have to have the seat at maximum travel.

The Octavia was a similar story, but the rear passenger legroom suffered so we went for the Passat. Pretty much every car comes with an ISOFIX bracket now?

I will have a look at some VAG group cars then.

Just a note on the PCP, if she keeps it till the end of the term dont we just hand it back, and then we will be down to the 1 car. I was considering getting rid so that we arent paying for it monthly.

keep the ST you dont own, and replace the otehr two cars with a £6k diesel hack.

Something like a Saab 9-5 esate, or a Mondeo TDCi.
