Newbie wanting advise!

[Kat]

I quite like my VTi 120. It's got enough power for what I want and is fairly economical when you drive sensibly, but still has enough umph to have some fun with as well . It's not fantastic on the motorway though if I'm honest as it's lacking a 6th gear, but other than that I'm happy with mine so far .

Welcome to the club as well .

I agree. Mine still makes me grin when I'm accelerating! haha. Though I had a 75bhp 207 before my DS3, so the 120 feels quick in comparison.

And welcome, Hannah!

I keep looking online at them, so its best i sort myself out and go and look at them in the flesh.. haha

The e-HDi is my first diesel car and I have no complaints with it. Very economic on fuel, unless you like flat out straights, then I find it guzzles quite quickly. It's used for both city and country roads. Best of luck on the search, I've seen adverts for Ds3's running at 169quid/month. I went for this option, and ended up around 240quid/month.

Well test drive is booked for Saturday morning ... Test driving both but so far the best price is the diesel... Bit gutted they offered me £2800 part ex for mine but hopefully I can get them to increase it haha.

If the dealer hasn't seen it yet then CLEAN it! Also remove everything from the inside that is personal such as magic trees, CD's, etc. Also get rid of any old mats or give them a good clean.

Us dealers mentally judge the mechanical condition of the car by the mess you leave the car in. Tidy car normally means that the car is cared for, a messy car would point at someone who doesn't care and is more likely to pick the 'cheapest fix' option! How the dealer feels about a PX effects the offer made.

Thanks for the advice yeah it's getting a clean on Friday, the person who quoted me did it over the phone he has yet to see the car. Hopefully when they see it it will go up. It's a cracking little car only has 36k on a 59 plate so I'm being optimistic haha.

Well guys I went in the garage a non DS3 owner but come away an owner, pick it up in September .. Went with the petrol as I only do short drives and when I test drove it it's enough for me... It is whisper purple with black roof. Thanks for your advice and cannot wait to post pictures..
