Ive had the subaru 2 weeks, cant fit my stuff in it, so ive just sold it

I need something that

a) can hold quite a lot of stuff bootwise - i take 4x large plastic boxes, 1x suitcase, 2x wheelie baskets, an A frame and a large bag of visuals. Then i have to fit the kids in the back, so all of this needs to fit in the boot

b) Is no more than 2k

c) Is not absolutely hideous, and needs to be reliable.

d) Is not a fortune to tax

Suggestions PLEASE, i just need something adequate ive had 5 cars this year

Was gonna say the same. Ive got a V70 T5 Estate, cavernous boot, goes really well and can get over 400 miles out of a tankfull when taking it easy. Mine was 2.2k with 82K on the clock, FVSH, full black leather, dual air-con etc. It replaced my 850 T5 which eventually gave up the ghost at 199K!

 

out of those id look at a volvo, very safe to carry the kids in too

 

Bloody hell... not another car

 

also to add

i dont want anything over 10yrs old, and not with motorway miles and i refuse to drive a Volvo, im not 50

octavia vrs

 

i want another one, find me one for 2k and ill buy it

 

My mate has just offered to buy mine but when we went looking round for a car to replace ours at the same money the only thing that ticked all the boxes was another one but black this time

 

wont find a VRS for 2k though, so its ruled out

 

Mondeo Mk3?

Andy

 

mondeo tdci

 

already had a mondeo tdci zetec-s, not too fussed on them tbh and wouldnt want a less of a spec than the one ive had if im truthful/

found a passat tdi 2001 plate, but would have to check out the bootspace by taking all my kit to view it lol

 

bmw 5 series

audi a6

or

a jag x-type

all have big boots

 

5 series are all over 10yrs old, so are the audi a6s

 

Legacy

 

My Audi A4 2.5 V6 TDi Quattro Tip-Tronic Estate.............Yours for 2k

 

what reg is it Tiff?

 

Take that back!! Volvo are now a cool car.

Benni.

 

Thats the slight problem for you..............Its a T Plate and done 125k

BUT Its an Audi.......my last one had done 179k and drove like new

This one is 2 Owners, FULL Audi Service History, drives like new and cruises perfect, and at 180bhp goes ok too.......LOADS of torque

 

does it have to be a car sarah how about a people carrier my dad just bought greenies grand espace 7 seater if he takes the 2 back seats out theres loads of room for stuff plus he still got 3 seats spare just a idea for you bri

 

i was horrified at the thought of getting a people carrier but when we looked at a few they are so practical, we were going to get an S-max but didn't want to lay out 13k on one so got a galaxy instead, so far well impressed with it, we only have 2 kids at the mo so often leave only 2 seats in the back, it leaves masses of room.

 

i agree with you when me dad got his i was like not my cup of tea but ive had it for the past week and was impressed he's only had it 2weeks it a 05 plate 3.0 v6td grand espace top of the range one with all the toys plus 20" alloys lol

 

id seriously consider a T5 vovlo maybe a volvo but will be all things ya need , pratical , reliable , fun and cheap

even come in yellow

 

these are great cars

PM me some pics you monkey
*I will peep in the Sale section now to see if its there *

 

vectras have huge boots, loads bigger than mondeos.......(i've had both)

 

new shape or old shape pete? I quite like Vectra B estates, cant find any cheap Vectra C's though

 

pmsl at you going to veiw a car with all your stuff....imagine that lol.

we had a vectra c and that boot was massive, you could still put the rear seats down too!

 

both....i had the B saloon....and my pal/lift for work has a 1.9cdti hatchback on a 55 plate and it so much bigger than ourlasses mondy.......

 

Subaru legacy, great range of cars in that price range (from 300bhp twin turbos with impreza like preformance to 2.0 n/a that are a little slow most with well below average mileage for their year) the estates are spacious and cofortable (bigger boot than the mondeo estates and the volvo's) i have had 2 estates now and never had to spend a penny on them the first was a 2.0 n/a which i got rid of at 250k miles with no faults at all and the second a twin turbo which i kept upto 100k with no faults either

brilliant cars for the money

 

I have a transit you can have for 2k

 

throw your escort in and we have a deal
