Well i finally sold my Peugeot 307 sh*twagon about 3 weeks ago, been scouring high and low for a new motor but really having problems deciding on what to buy.
I decided to keep some of the money i have and put torwards other things that i needed/wanted for the house, so im left with £3k to spend on a new motor.
Im over 25 with 8 years ncb, so insurance isnt really an issue upto group 16 most cars cost around £250-400 fully comp, its just being the size of your average doorway limits me to what i can buy.
Ive spend the last 3 fridays + tommorow will be going back to the BCA auction in a bid to pickup something newer but at a bargain price.
However with the increase in fuel price again soon, and the fact its all carbon footprint this and that nowadays i find myself considering smaller engined motors or diesels in order to save a bit here and there, but in all honesty im doing around 1000-3000 miles a year so i dont see any of this affecting me really, thus why i thought why not push the boat out and go for a 2l to v6 and have a bit of fun.
I just cant decide.

What about a Mitsubishi FTO? can pick them up for under £3K
But why do you need a car for only 3K miles a year ? :/
-
FTO would be sweet.
Dont go Diesel. Everytime someone buys a Diesel Gordon Brown cracks one off.

The only jap imports i would consider are those vehicles that were either produced here, or were originally sold here, thus i could keep parts and servicing prices down. :)
Bartop, yeh thats one vehicle i was checking out, i just think to myself at the auction i could just buy a newer shape v6 for around the same money.
Ill be honest, i keep going back to BMW 323i, which is one ive considered several times. :D
And being really honest i did 1500 miles in the last 2 years, but its all down the car which i hated, previous to that i was doing upto 3k a year in my A4 T Sport, but hell that was one fun car to drive, it was a drivers car, the feel of the road :)
