Hi Shane, Thanks for that reply. I had my heart set on this particular car as the colour combo is gorgeous and I love the quirky style of the car. I wasn't changing other than for that reason, only moving up a year. I dont do big mileage, still using a moped to commute to work (when in the office) so I think I'm going to put the plan to bed and keep the petrol beetle as it's a great little flyer and causes me no problems. Head will have to rule the heart in this instance. Thanks again for the valuable advice. Much appreciated. Dorothy
