    Vauxhall still has the insignia sri nav auto and astra elite with a reasonable deposit. The BMW 1 M sport has been reduced by a couple of hundred pounds. I'm due to replace my mob car in April and can't decide between those above or the Merc B class. I'm looking at something with a sub £1500 deposit, although if I could stretch to the maximum deposit I'd consider the Volvo S60 or BMW 3 series.

    If you want an s60 auto you will need to contact Volvo to see wht the price is. Bearing in mind the manual and auto versions of the V60 are both £1999 would hope the S60would be the same. I have looked at the B class, 1 series and Astra amongst others and I always look at the fuel economy. I would expect to get close to 60 from the BMW and Mercedes but only 40 from the Vauxhall which equates to an extra £1600 on fuel over 3 years. Something I will take into account when looking at AP's and the cost of extras.

    Astra Elite 2.0 turbo diesel,hatchback manual, full leather, just ordered with £349 payment. ALL mobility cars now must have factory fitted parking sensors. I have just had all the NEW regs fired at me for three days whilst choosing.

    Can you share these new regs with us?

    Can you clarify regulations re parking sensors. As I understand some manufacturers fit them for free but they are not fitted free across all manufacturers.

    Ford have parking sensors fitted on all the range of motability cars they supply,though was told they are only found on other manufacturers vehicles if they come as standard on a particular model. this was the information i received within the last week.

    Dont know if you have noticed but the cars for the WPMS has come down from 1977 to 1767 and many manufacturers are only offering them exactly the same as the DLA.
    Bargains, well at 1st look Volvo V60 D3 ES Auto £1999 (manual is £1999 also) is good value albeit you need to spend on parking sensors and other extras. BMW seem to have priced competitvely this quarter with up to £1000 off the prices last quarter and the X1 is included too (will be interested if the new 3 series will come in at some point).
    I think overall my initial reaction to the cars and their prices is Unremarkable, a couple of surprises. There is a moderately better choice than last quarter. Interesting how many cars (appx 200 ) are bang on or just under the £2k limit.
    I have got an initial short list of 3 cars which I will test drive in due course. What about anyone else.

    Just had a quick browse, and only managed to fill in 10 of the 39 cars in my spreadsheet - will do more tomorrow (that's the problem with viewing from a mobile instead of a laptop)

    Anyway, have a look at the Mini Countryman listings, they seem to have placed 6 Cooper D Autos at £1999 (the difference is spec), with the standout model, the Cooper D Chilli 4WD also mixed in at £1999 AP!

    Will check out some more later.
