Hi all, I don't often venture into Motors, but I figured I (or rather, my dad) could use some advice!
As thread title really. My Dad's Laguna's gearbox is on it's way out and it's getting on a bit so a change of car is in order.
His eye is on a 55-plate Kia Magentis 2.0 SE, 13,000 miles, fully loaded with kit apparently, for £6k. BUT, it's the pre-facelift model, and it's a Kia Magentis. I think he might have already put a deposit down on it too... but it's not too late is it?
His requirements are that it's an auto, well equipped, mileage below about 45,000 and not too old. On a budget but I think he could stretch up to £9k. He also has to be able to part-ex the old Laguna, so that's a no for private sales?
He's also looking at a 2001 Honda Accord 2.0 Executive, for about £6.5k, these any good?
I did a little searching and came up with a
54 plate Peugeot 407 2.0 HDi with 34,000 miles, £8.5k
54 plate Subaru Legacy 2.5i SE with 11,000 miles, £7.5k
What do you guys reckon to these? Also, how come the Legacy is so cheap?? I thought they'd be much more than that. Any other recommendations would be much appreciated, thanks. Or indeed, if anyone can justify the Kia, then by all means do so!
