To do that mileage would cost be about £100. I think you should sort the hdi or buy a dt or nad and save some bloody Wonga for a while.
Ive got insurance and tax all bundled up into that cost...
Ive calculated the 1.8 uses 4062L of fuel a year... that's like 4 tonnes which if I remember correctly from Shell Tankers is about 10% of a tanker that delivers to a forecourt.
Moving on...
I have spent the last week looking at cars and Ive done all the maths a HDi does work out ridiculously cheap but also Id like something a bit more professional for work. Really hate to say that as I always told people that nobody on client site cares what car you drive... but... yeh I want something reliable that will eat up the miles and be super comfy. What I have found is a bit special and blows quite a lot of things out of the water so Im really looking forward to it.
It does require a loan but I have worked it all out and its going to cost £8.07 more than the 1.8 including insurance, tax, fuel, and the loan repayments. I feel this is pretty good. If you said... "Sam... For £8 more would you like to drive around in mild luxury, safety and comfort?" then the answer is obviously YES!
Conveniently it is also heavy enough to tow a car transporter with a 1.8 XS on it so this project will live on and in fact may actually move a bit faster seeing as it isn't on the road!
