    So, back to the OP's question, apart from a Mercedes or BMW, what else would look nice on the drive, be reliable and last for some years for £3k.
    A big old petrol thing that carries a high taxation class (free for us) or?

    I only ask because we are getting into a similar situation - the Motability car we have has to pull our caravan and house a large dog.
    Sadly we will soon be physically unable to enjoy a touring caravan and not have the need to have such a heavy and ultra reliable car, therefore looking in the same direction as the OP.


    If not a Merc or BMW, then Volvo's seem to go on forever, there is a good range so should find something to fit your needs or the other German brands Audi & VW. Other than them the Mini Cabs favourite a Honda Accord.
