Someone actually went ahead and bought it, and put up a thread in readers rides.
Seriously amazing amount of car (literally, it's absolutely huge!) for the money.
Tom what you need is a runaround mate. Not a plush car with heaps of creature comforts, that can wait.
Do you think I bought my Pug for their amazing capabilities? For their reliability record? For their equipment levels? Because they excel in none of those categories...
Less than 5 miles from Tom-
Rover 214 51k miles 5 door red - £800
Peugeot 307 96k miles 1.6 16v 5 door yellow - £995
Toyota Avensis 73k miles 1.8 VVTi 5 door red - £995
Volvo S40 88k miles 1.8 4 door saloon red - £675
It really doesn't have to be a diesel car.
Diesels are inherently more complex, so when they go wrong they cost you more. If you absolutely must have a diesel, you need to look for something simple. Something pre DMF, pre DPF, pre VNT.
In a nutshell, you need to start defining the line between what you NEED and what you WANT.
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.
