  • Picasso's are old hat!

    For 7000 you'd be able to get an 04 plate VW Touran TDi with 60k on clock.

    You say you have three kids to ferry around, so why the need for 7 seats...?

    Just get a decent family car - cheeper to run and easier to park!

    If you're paying cash, and it is that new, you could get one from auction for £1500 - £1000 less money (inc fees) Assuming it's not a 16v 1.6 desire you can get one of those for 6K inc fees at auction

    There's plenty of them about. - still under manufacturers warranty - not much to worry about buying at auction.
  • Or a Mazda Premacy diesel. It's 7 seats, but the rear ones are for very small kiddies!

    And it's not too much of a lump to drive about either...

    You could post it here for us all to see. I am sure the chance of someone buying it so you can't is extremely minimal :D

    Alternatively you could spend a similar amount of money at auction and get a car 1 year younger, a 2007 model

    Post it on site Angelcake - there are some guys on here that know their stuff and can help you. please shop around before making a decision. If you are set on a Picasso, at least compare some prices - that way, it gives you some bargaining power.

    Gotta go to bed in a mo.. good luck - no not luck, make a good decision!
