55 plate Passat Diesel Estate?  i.e. A4 estate in a different skin?

Quote from: Eddmyself i would either get a vectra estate or mondeo estate

think of the depreciation man!!!! spending £10k or anything near that on one of them will be crippling

This.  As much as i actually like my Vectra, I wouldnt ever consider buying one brand new.  

well dont get a new one obviously

For 10k you are still buying a pretty new one.  For example i can find 55 plate diesels, or 57 plate SRi spec petrols for 9k-10k.  However youll lose most of that over 3 years.  I only paid 2k for a 6.5 year old Vectra Hatchback.

Going to test drive an Accord 2.2 i-Cdti Tourer executive in about 2 hours.

60k, full Honda service history, Satnav, leather, electric hatch, Hands free etc electric seats.
Lots and Lots of toys.  It even looks like it has an air compressor under a hatch in the boot floor.

While I think the Germans do a bang up job of an estate its hard to go against the V70, its the natural choice in my opinion. Ive drive them from time to time and always walk away thinking how nice they are.

If it was me, itd be a toss between one of the high spec BMW 3 series touring and a high spec Volvo V70.

We put a deposit down on this car today

good choice, looks smart.
when are you picking it up?

Do like the look of the Accords, not sure about the estate, but if you need something to carry the Cinq around in the boot, suppose tis a good choice

Prefer the dark grey colour you see about though.

Hopefully next week, just waiting for the bank to pull their fingers out.
Who can resist the name of the Metallic black on there though..... Its "Nighthawk Black"

Got offered £200 for the cinq, I think it knows it and its falling apart very quickly!

Indication of size for you...those are 16" wheels.

Im gonna get me an E320 CDI for work

Should be picking this up tomorrow
