Welcome.

Shame you weren't in the market 6 months ago.

15500 would get a brand new UK spec (from Holland) car. No more orders are being accepted for current model, with new one just about to be launched.

You may find some people selling orders thay don't want anymore for cars ordered from europe. Look in the for sale part of this board. You may still be in luck.

second hand I don't know.

 

Keep trying Top Marques (or Autotrader) but search on their website

Check your mail. On the import front, watch the insurance premiums and the resale value.

As well as Top Marques, try Autotrader (www.autotrader.co.uk) and Exchange&Mart (www.exchangeandmart.co.uk).

 

16,500 should be able to get you a high mileage MY99 unmodified car on a T plate
Recommend Topmarques. A dealer will probably want 18k+.

Take your caps lock off, it makes it easier to read.

Good luck in your search, the S plate deal sounds about par for the course, but second hand prices are falling rather dramatically at the moment, even on a scoob.


Of course there is the new Chrysler Neon ( sorry new scoob) out soon which may lower the price of the better looking car even further. Have you seen it? Those lights ARE NOT coming to the UK according to EVO.
