View Full Version : Workhorse of a car needed
Right, I have a new job and need a workhorse of a car as the mileage will be high.
I'd like to spend upto £2,000 - ideally £1,500 as I'll be keeping the Trophy.
Diesel would be good as MPG should be as high as poss.
As reliable and new as poss would be good.
Thinking of a 306 hdi... Anyone have other suggestions?

Golf MkIV Tdi, Pug 406 Hdi or an early Mk3 Mondeo TDCi..... should be plenty around for the money you want to spend...
Upto £2000....be prepared for starship miles if you go for anything with a VAG engine.
French motors with less miles are cheaper.
I like them Mk1 Focus TDI's, I've thought about buying one as a second car in the past, look nice in black. Within your budget too
Depends on you image issues, Seat or Skoda (Octavia VRS ?) all VAG engines, civic petrol, subaru legacy saloon 2 litre - bulletproof
For sub £2k?
Only car I can see which I like/want is a 306hdi. Can be had for £1,400 ish.

E39 beemer. One of the best all-rounders ever made! No comparsion to a 306 which I've also had in the past. I have a 540 now, which isn't great on fuel, which is probably an issue to most, but they do do a diesel engine one as well that may be worth looking at?
Slight increase in budget gets me a 206hdi... 2002/52, 90k, leather and goodies = £1,900.
307! brill car and spec for the money, some high milers but seen plenty with decent mileage in budget.
Do we think a Williams would fit this bill?

Wife is saying no. Says I've spent too much on the Trophy. Pffft.
