Morning All,
A bit of an open question really, I'm interested to see what sort of things would be suggested for this.
So you have between 6-8k to spend on a diesel car.
It can be a maximum of 4 years old
Milage would preferably be no more than 60k (this is a little flexible)
You'd like as many "extras" as possible
You'd also like to stay within in the VW stable, but this is not a do or die decision
Running costs would also like to be kept to a minimum (I.e. tax, cost to fill a tank)
Also - Extended Warranties (warranty direct etc) - any thoughts from those that have them?
So... discuss. :cool:
-
Skoda Octavia TDI.
B6 Passat TDI.
Either with the 4WD option, because it means you won't look a tw@t when it snows and it'll tow beautifully. This will impact on your tax and fuel economy though.
Find out how much a warrantee will cost and set aside that much money. Nice little bonus for yourself when the period of your home-made warrantee wears out, or you will cover most things they will fail on without too much of an issue. :grin:
I did once get an engine rebuilt twice on an extended warrantee, mind..... because the first clowns f*cked it up!
-
No size specification so I'll throw in a fully spec'd up Polo 1.4 TDI 9n2. 65+ mpg and plenty of toys in the later ones. £35 a year road tax as well!

Bmw 320d or Honda Accord CDTI

oh and a big :lipsrsealed: from me from now on :tongue:
[cough]a8[/cough]
-
I second the A8

I had a Honda Accord EX ctd once. Nice car. 2.2 derm with 50 mph. The ex model came with everything as standard. Heated leather sunroof sat nav 6 disc radio. etc..
Awesome on the motorway.
-
Damn you BB auto correct!
50 mpg.

I really fancy one of these as well. 10mm spacers plus a healthy slam and I reckon it'd look spot on!

Why do people say Audi A8 it has a 90l tank plus high road tax.
-
With your limit of car age I've found it impossible to find a diesel that would be respectable (is there such a thing). All the Audis have done too many miles. The only sort of thing that I could find was a Leon FR 170 but the interior is just gastly so couldn't deal with that. The BMWs of that era are also horrible to look at :sick:
I would personally get a slightly older Audi or E46 BMW.

Plus you find one thats 4 years old and has done less than 60k and cost less than 8k.

The A8 was a joke - between 2 people is a very small circle. slick knows :laugh:

That seems cheap :undecided: or is that about all it is worth.

price is about 500 under the going rate for them to be fair
the Vcar website is 100% better than autotrader with a lot more cars,
as was fish 4 cars,
And MOST were lower milage than those on Autotrader.
Slicks shortlist is now like him, Not very short :laugh: :grin:

They do a 4 motion with that engine........
-
They do, but from my limited knowledge they are also pretty damm rare. Ive only ever seen one in real life with my own eyes.
A quick look on Auto Trader and I found 3 TDI 4Motions nationwide.

One of my neighbours has a 55 plate 3 door GT TDI 4 motion in grey. Had it from new, very nice it is to.
