right, im after a second car and as title suggests it has to be diesel and a estate, also ourlass is going to start driving so she will be using ity more than me

 

am looking at spending £1500

 

any suggestions

 

even an economical petrol would sufice

How about an old mk3 golf estate? Would cost less than £1500 and is easy to get parts for and should be realiable bud.

hmmmmm, was thinking along the lines of audi a4 estate, never thought of golf

I was gonna suggest an a4 avant Allan, the 1.9tdi is superb :D

We all know what happens to first cars so I would look for a car I could get replacement parts for cheap and easy (bumpers, grills and head-lights:x: o & wing-mirrors).:)

 

Would also look at old pug mate.

ooh, dont want anything pug or anything french lol

 

will have a search about

unless you are doing well over 20.000 miles a year in it a diesel will be more expensive to run.

And dont dismiss the Pug so lightly. I did over 60,000 miles in mine over 5 years and it never let me down.

I still see it locally driving around.

i only do 5000 a year in me zed as a daily driver, so will prob only do about 2500 in a second car, although the wench will have it more than i will, and want an estate for the hound from hell, when he is fully grown there aint no chance of him fitting in the zed lol

The A4's are great, I have done 50k in mine with no problems at all. The other cheap option would be a Focus TDCi, the go well.

How about a vectra??

not keen on vectra's, also a bit big for the wench to start driving

go for the a4 alan...

i agree, a4 all the way, thinking about one myself, not too expensive if your not too fussy about the milage its done

i seen an 05 diesel sport avant with 117000 on piston heads the other day for 4k, was very keen, just dont really want another bank loan lol

Go for an older one Allan, don't borrow money if you don't have to mate. :) Also you'll lose less with an older one :D

I have just been offered a Pug 406 1.8 TDi on a T plate for £1200 but its a saloon :confused:

Alan, get a bucket! It will be her first car and an estate, will be hard to park for a new driver. It will get more bangs than my bird.

Spend the spare cash on pet insureance for the wee man.

a bucket????? lol

It will get more bangs than my bird.

 

LMFAO :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

To ture, To ture.

I'd suggest sticking with VAG cars too.......

 

.......if not an A4 then what about a Passat?

 

Richard

volvo 850 estate

i had an a6 on a 51 reg 1.9tdi was one of the best cars i had barring the zed ofcourse :-)

i like the a6, but i think it may be out of my price range

 

did see an x plate omega estate 2.0 16v for £1200, had all the toys aswell, and ive always liked them
