Title: For £18K what car would you buy?
Post by: The Barge Captain on 13 November 2007, 19:31:37
If you were looking for a brand new replacement for an Omega estate?

I have considered getting one of those Purduo things and 1500 cases of Stella that's on offer at Asda at the minute (3 for £20)

Seriously though, vectra, passat, laguna etc etc.......

you look at the auctions and the are going for £11k with a bit of mileage on them......no one wants them now the petrol has shot up....ideal candidate for LPG and loads of room under the false floor for a nice big wheel well tank

I agree, but look at the original question:

If you want big the 300C V8 or CRD drops value fast so good value on almost new.  If you want smaller the Passat/Octavia are quite good. DPF engine isn't as good as the normal TDi but still goes pretty well.  New Mondeo looks interesting but only seen it from outside.

why buy brand new only for it to lose a few grand when you put a mile on its clock?

Quite frankly at £18k there is a lot that's not going to happen for me, so I'll go for a Bugatti Veyron with an Iffor Williams trailer strapped to the back for a bit of practicality.  ;D

TBH there's so little I find inspiring about the new cars around at the moment I'd keep my wallet shut.
