Thinking of changing wifey's car on a temporary basis. Long-term goal is to get something around the 15k mark (I'm thinking mid 1980s Porsche 911) but she wants a change in the interim. Kids are getting bigger too, so something 'one up' from a supermini. Currently she's got a 98 'S' Citroen Saxo West Coast on 30k, and I'm looking to get something that would be a straight swap, or a swap + £500. Currently thinking a Pug 306 or 406, a 3-series BMW or a Golf GTi. Low-ish insurance would be a bonus too
