is it worth getting a diesel if your only doing 15k a year
i dunno if the sales man is just trying to make a sale might just go to grantham instead for the diesel
the diesel is 1.7k more expensive but it is alot more economical
its a yaris btw
dont care if its a grannies car

I've just been having this same convo with my old man, the VX diesel Astra is an extra 400 over the petrol. I only will be doing <10k miles so not sure it matters which I get.......

15K is borderline, or at least that's what I was always thought.
then again, diesel also used to be cheaper than petrol....ah the good old days.

Is it not more economical to buy one that's a few years older?

400 more for a diesel Yeah it's on the motability scheme, you can get some cars for no advance payment and some you have to pay. |

Diesel car may be more expensive, but will almost certainly be worth similar % amount more at resale, so you can't just calculate based on difference between diesel and petrol - have to work out how much of the diff you'd lose over how long you keep the car, which is going to be less.
