Default What big / Estate car for circa £2k - £2.5k???

As above as im doing the signwriting etc full time now I need to get a biggish car to ferry me shite about in. I dont really want a van as i need rear seats.

I've seen Lee's Red Estate for sale here on PF but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas as an alternative??

Not fussed if its petrol or diesel....

Cheers
Chris

you could always build up a sierra estate with cossie bits on it etc, give it a funkyish paintjob and loads of vinyl... bit like your old mk4 van. bit of a promo car etc.

you'd get change from 2k easy

but then it's probably break down every other week

thats the thing Jim, i'd rather buy it all done up etc as i dont really want to spend any time or money on her. (hence interested in Lee's Escort).

you would get a good bug eyed scorpio estate for that money with the 220 bhp 24v motor, wouldn't you? i would like one of those. not pretty though are they?

diesel mundano does sound a better bet if you're doing the miles

fRS, one problem with the scorpio is that it'll DRINK petrol.

true itll be v. cheap and theyve got all the mod cons... but the petrol bill would scare anyone off!
