You reap what you sow!
Reap what I sow? It's a nine year old astra that has never let me down. I paid £10K for it in 2018 on 9000 miles and its now done 84,000 miles. I think I've done rather well out of it.

Like you Steve I don't intend spending a fortune when I eventually change the Range Rover, I'm seriously considering a Japanese import ideally a Subaru estate of some description a dealership not far from me imports a few all low mileage & in fantastic condition due to the strict "shaken" inspection the Japanese equivalent of our MOT and the fact no salt is used on their roads. I looked at one a few weeks ago one owner 24,000 miles and like new condition for £8999 , but at the moment I don't want to part with the Range Rover as it running great .
I've looked at Japanese imports as well, but importing it myself rather than buying from a UK dealer.
There are some great low milage cars at great prices, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to be honest...

Seems like the best option to me , my vehicle is the workhorse for carrying the dog towing the caravan etc. so nothing too good the Subaru I viewed was a 2009 but honestly was like a new car , I don't think I'd want to import it myself either, I certainly don't want to spend £20-£30,000 on a vehicle that would cover 7,000 miles a year maximum. We've had two Subaru Foresters and they are superb vehicles never had any problems with them at all, they're not economical on fuel but not a problem to us, only covering a small amount of miles.
