Not sure about the car, mine is down as 2.5K which OR said would be fine even if it was a little higher, but said he will come back to me if it is thought to be a lot more, but I didnt actually ask what the maximum amount allowed was. He stated that in cases where the value is high they would sell the car but reimburse you enough to buy a cheaper option, again I didnt think to ask how much from the sale they would return, sorry.
Thought I might have to give a good reason to keep the car as dont live far from city centre and have good bus links, but he covered it very quickly, just asked me if I used it for getting to work, and said I could keep it. I didnt say a word (makes a change).
The interview really isnt too bad, I was just a little nervous, and he was very nice, as my BR was as a result of a rejected IVA proposal we even had a natter about the subject.
Good luck with the hamsters, sorry I cant take any off your hands its already like Noahs Ark here!
Just shout if you have anymore questions running up to the meeting,
