Right, after having a sit down after receiving the repair quote for
My truck I've decided that with my wedding coming up I can't afford to repair it yet.
So I'm looking for a motor to smoke about in, it's going to do big miles so ideally a diesel an cruise
Control :evil:
Suggestions an links
Please!
-
Slightly over budget and doesn't list cruise but suspect they've forgotten about it as almost all of these have:

Vauxhall Vectra mate I have had 2 of them now and they have been the most reliable cars ive ever owned
-
Oooh I do like saabs, but did own a 93 Viggen that had epic suspension problems
Tainted them a bit!
-
Mondi?
£995 don't think it has cruise though.

I'm sure Chuff will back this view up entirely.
Bora/Seat Leon TDI and talk to someone like Rhys about getting cruise nailed into it if it doesn't have it.
Or halve the budget and buy a house brick: Golf3 TDI with cruise control.

lookout for cambelts tho, can be bloody expensive, but for 900 sheets you wont find better bang for buck, i bought mine for 700 quid on a whim and now im buying another just so i can have 2.

It needs to last 6months if that, an I don't care if it doesn't move by the end of it, I'll just weight it in!

Failing that, im going to Jag tomorrow as my grandads decided his 57 plate 300C is too old now ...... lets see if i can blag that off him on a flexible finance arrangement!

Can't go wrong with a Volvo, buy right and it'll give you back what you paid for it when you've done in a few months.

Sad thing is the thing I'm most excited about is the practicality for ikea and tip runs!

To be fair dilbert, rovers/MGs can represent awesome value for money if you find one thats been looked after.
Also the 'major' faults with them can be fixed very easily

A bit over your budget though as i'm looking to spend between 2 and 2.5K. There is this one for 1.8K on ebay at the moment:

Rover have always been crap!
I mean the 3500 with a V8 in it only made 135bhp! That just shows the mentality of them. Ship in and American V8 and detune it!
I have driven so many Rover/BL cars over the years and they have all been rubbish!
Badly designed and badly made.
Its taken the Japanese to come and show us how to make good cars in this country.
