Advice on which car to buy

dj0586

HI guys, im hoping for some advice on which car to buy next. I had a Fiat Brava which has gone to the great garage in the sky so i'm on the look for a new car.

Ideally, i would like a diesel and like the look of the vauxhall Vectra but have been told its not great for short journeys (15 miles down motorway to work) and ones i have see (51 reg) have about 140,000 on the clock.

I have a budget of 2k ideally would like to spend £1700. Does anyone have any suggestions????

Hi there,

I'm a COMPLETE novice when it comes to cars but I'm also looking for a used car after mine got written off recently.
I'm using https://www.whatcar.com for advice - their reviews seem to be pretty thorough. Also I've subscribed to https://www.which.co.uk (£1 for 30 days on a trial period) and they have a really comprehensive car buying guide on there - it breaks down each model by engine and spec and then lets you know what kind of price you ought to be paying. It also has put a lot of popular models through it's own testing regime so can offer you their own advice re safety/running costs etc etc.

It's dead daunting cos it's such a major purchase. My sympathies are with you...check out those websites though and they might give you some confidence and ideas.
Kate
