Cars - which would you buy?

vansboy

I see why you thought of Renault - I was at the Tewksbury auction, last week & there were LOADS there - guess the local distributors are able to shift them, better than other areas!!

There isn't a Motability sale, on your doorstep, so Birmingham, or Blackbushe (Surrey) might be the place to look.

You can check stock availability by cliking the http://www.honestjohn.co.uk link & then in the left hand links menu auctionview. This is the database for ALL UK entries, to BritishCarAuctions & you search for models/sales/venues. It does have a (small) fee, but saves lots fone calls, wasted petrol & journeys. Also the HJ site has plenty hints n tips on EVERYTHING motoring, as previously mentioned.

http://www.manheimeurope.co.uk has Motability sales, also, but no search facility, for non-account customers.

Hope it helps!!

My husband bought an A6 for work(after having company cars)and had nothing but trouble with it .It drank oil (the expensive type!) and was always in the garage(Audi charge a fortune). He has now sold it at a great loss - no dealers were interested .

By the way , I drive a Citroen Picasso,which my husband and most German car lovers hate, but I have had it for over 5 years and it has never gone wrong - I can get my 3 children in it easily and guess whose car is always used if we have to go to the dump or pick up furniture!!?

Depends what attributes you value in a car really. I've found that old BMs offer what I want for a good price, you've found that the Picasso offers what you want. I'm not a particular fan of Audi myself. Personally I want a certain level of driver involvement so I can entertain myself in the process of getting from A to B.
