Bought car too cheap, selling to make a profit, what next?
Options
OK Chaps,
Work were selling a car far too cheaply and it would have been rude not to buy it!! So I paid £1800 (plus RFL) for a car that can retail at £4000+.
So I am sticking it on Ebay tonight with no reserve etc etc.
I reckon it will fetch in the region of £3200 - 3500
So after it's sold delivered I NEED a car that is suitable for a family. Does anyone here have any experience of the following:
Meriva 1.3 CDTi
Scenic 1.5 106 Dynamique
C-Max 1.6 CDTi
Do the panel have any thoughts?

I would try to get a bigger engine. In those cars 1.6/1.4 even with a are a bit gutless.0

Not if you buy it to specifically make profit.0 -
OP, have you wondered why the car you bought was so cheap? What make/model was it, and how many mlles were on the clock?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

The Meriva is a good practical car. However, I've driven a 1.3 Diesel and it was a bit "gutless". The 1.7 Diesel is a better option.
If you consider one do search around for common (expensive) faults first though.
I've driven a C Max and didn't like it, that's a personal opinion. In spite of that seems a good car.
Scenic, no idea, I'd have a problem with that as it's modern French!0
