New car help please.
Now the 172 has gone, i need a new car by Sunday as my loan car has to be returned to Mother.
I am prepared to spend upto around £3.5k. I want a car which is suitable for sitting at 80 on the motorway. I'm currently driving a fizzy zetec S 1.6 petrol which i'm sure is super frugal around town but out on the motorway - it ain't so i guess a 1.9/2.0 diesel is the order of the day. I want a/c and maybe cruise control with a touch of street cred and around 60k (i do 25k / year). I really don't want a Focus and the sort of money i have doesn't stretch to one of the newer Astras. I think i've set my heart on a Mondeo (my life is so dull:D) but am worried about their abilitly to have clutch problems which costs £700+. Tony Burns found a good one on piston heads but the ad has elapsed so the contact details has gone. Anyone with any wise words/suggestions or even a sub 60k mondy they want to sell :D |
The £700+ DMF problems can apply to any diesel with a DMF though, I will be converting to a solid fly wheel and so that bill is halved.
Look at Vectra CDTi's also. |
What cars out there have the DMF?
Vectras have caught my eye, if not just for the fact they do 2.2's. Bigger is better :D |
Are the older Astras any good like this
|
Comfortable, solid, reliable. Was well made too. Drove nicely, but not that exciting. |
Not looking for excitment - just a cruiser. Somewhere down the line i might lookat sommatfor the weekend :D
Just been reading up on the Astras - not bad :D |
|
Cheers for the start - the Vectra looks good but is too far away. I live just south of Wakefield. The other 3 have big mile which i would like to avoid.
I am actually looking at Focuses as for the kind of money i have, i guess they are the best value :( |
Anyone had any dealings with CLC Autos in Bradford here. There are a couple of cars which seem good vaue there :)
