Fair enough. I think your best best is to try and negotiate a cash deal on the 206 and risk trying to sell the Skoda privately - might be up some OAP's alley! (That's not meant to sound as terse as it reads - honest!)

Well the man at the dealer this morning would allow me 300 quid off the 206 if i pay him in cash which would bring the price down to £2500.

So its definatly still a bargain.

I was going to sel the skoda privatley any way so i could get the desired £1200 which would then allow me to be able to buy and insure the pug on my budget, hey, lifes a bitch, but, it could be worse!! lol

I personally would have taken the grand. You'd have been very lucky to find somone to consider taking the Fabia from you for much more I think.

As for your mates not liking it - who gives a feck, it's your car and if they'd sooner walk then so be it.

Awk well.

theres nothing i can do now.

except for hope...lol

But if i do getkeep it i will simply exchange it for the first grand that is offered to me if i dont fall in love with it when i start to drive it.
