As PD130's are only about 18 months old (i think)you will be lucky to get 1 for less than 13K, PD150's are at least 15.  If you find one for less then it will probabbly be 50k miles or more and not really what you want, Try a 1.8 turbo as they seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper, I saw a t plate with 30K on the clock 1.8 turbo for ?7995, that is a bargain, and quite a common price.

Ive had 2 previous 5 door models and now have a 3 door model and really like it.. Its such a nicer car to look at with smoother panels, longer doors etc.. Don't have a family, didn't need rear doors, so got a nicer looking car which is a little cheaper too!
