If the latter, make it the last thing you sell. They're selling really quick/easy at the moment - so at least enjoy it for a bit until you're £Xk short of your deposit.
its a bit of both Kyle, main factor is I need to get on the ladder, Scooby is the only thing I have for capital. I if keep this car, I will never get a house, this is a fact. Not a great option but selling is the only one I have, plus have a couple of debts that would be cleared with this extra money all in one go and can fully concentrate on saving and adding to the deposit.

cheers Barnshaw, massive shame but sometimes you have make sacrifices, strong money but i always go in high, gives me something to barter with, cant see many for sale at the mo in PPP spec with this sort of mileage, fresh MOT and next to new set of 4 tyres
Seen the same sort of money on cars for sale at the mo without PPP or 18's with higher mileage, like the ad says, open to offers 
plus got 2 bites already this morning who want to view monday, and its only been on sale for 12hours

You are going to struggle at £8250.. There are dealers selling cars for less with Warranties and finance services.
Anything over £6k you'd be doing well..

i dont expect to get full asking Dave, more of a bartering tool to be honest
you say that but seen a dealer selling a 69k one in my spec for a grand more, like i keep saying im willing to barter, start high and work my way back a little

ha I knew you'd say that. That's just standard ownership costs, you've made money in my eyes. In either case, there's your deposit, happy house hunting dude

8k is good going mate, it is strong money for a 2003 car whichever way you look at it, maybe the prices of blobs are going up as they say, glad you got as near as your asking price

Cant fault them eck, my new favourite tyre, excellent in the wet and superb in the dry, best track tyres for track day abuse and being able to drive home on aswell and use daily if needed. Cant rave about them enough, best tyres iv used
Kicked the shit out of them at combe, drove to nurburgring did laps there and drove home and showed hardly any wear, that was in the medium compound...they are excellent, great value compared to r888 competitor and the ns2rs work in the wet too
