    Howdy all,

    Finally looking to trade up from my old 2003 1.4 Focus. She's given me many years but starting to give up the ghost.I'm a wedding photographer so starting to clock up a lot of mileage across the country and also it's starting to get a bit embarrassing rocking up to beautiful country houses in my dinged and dinted Focus (my wife did most of the dinting)

    Right, so budget is between 10k and 12k could *maybe* go a tiny bit higher for the perfect car. Ideally would like to trade in the Focus but otherwise would be a cash sale/no financing.

    Looking mostly at the moment at 2008-2011 Diesel Saloons such as the following:
    Audi A4
    VW Passat
    Ford Mondeo
    Skoda Superb/Octavia

    I'd love an A4 as it's the one I keep seeing and thinking "it will be mine" but know I probably should be a bit more sensible too, not sure if servicing costs would be signficantly higher than the others listed.

    A few essential features would be reliability (not sure if you'd call that a feature, haha) A/C, comfort, Bluetooth Audio. Bluetooth audio is kind of a must as I go mad on the long journeys without Spotify/Audio books. I know most cars have Aux ins hidden away but will likely be usisng the phone for google maps too so need to have it mounted on dash. I see a lot of used cars don't have bluetooth listed. Is it a pain to get them modified for Bluetooth Audio? For the cars that do say bluetooth - does that just mean making calls or do they tend to be able to stream audio too?

    Here's a few we were looking at last night:
