Sadly the 2007 Fiesta diesel is no more. For those of you not on my FB I hit a badger last week and the resulting damage means the car has been written off. I'd had the car from new so feeling a bit miffed at the moment as it was worth more to me than it's real value.

Having been offerered a decent settlement figure (after a bit of debate) I've got 2k as a starting point for a replacement.

Herein lies the problem ............. where the hell do I pitch my spending. I could opt for a 5k loan & limit myself to 7k. 5 door cars that I've looked at recently that fit the bill are :

2013 Fiesta Zetec Diesel
2013 Seat Ibiza FR Diesel
2012 VW Polo Match Diesel

Do I really need a diesel as I only cover 12k per year or do I just like em?

However I could opt for the PCP route & get a newer car (MINI Countryman anyone) but I've never been here before. Are MINI any good on APR, does it depend on the type òf car & are MINI flexible with their deals?

In a word ...... HELP!!
