I've had loads of help and advice here over the past few days so thanks all that have responded - i've finally decided we're going to go for the FR TDi (170) and rule out the idea of going for the Petrol version.... Our annual mileage is likely to increase as we'll have our baby by June and will be trekking up and down seeing family in the next few years.
The problem I have is now deciding which one to go for....
I've decided it must be 08 or newer, and 20k or less.
Do i go for this private one (Bluetooth, Heated Seats, Parking Sensors etc): http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201008353502854/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-from/11000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/fuel-type/diesel/maximum-age/up_to_3_years_old/maximum-mileage/up_to_20000_miles/price-to/14000/model/leon/make/seat/page/1/radius/1500/keywords/bluetooth/postcode/rg142rn?logcode=p
OR
FR550 Ltd edition from a Trader? (No mention of Bluetooth, Heated seats etc) - Take it these weren't standard on an FR550?

My theory is that i may be able to negotiate the private one as it's a bit expensive considering traders are selling them for the same or a tad less, i was hoping maybe i could get it down to £13,400 / £13,500 ideally?
Do i go for the standard FR with the toys, or an FR550 without?
Sooo many decisions :-(
