Well i have finally saved up the cash for my next car purchase, i have a budget of 7.5k i can push it to 8 if i find the correct car. I currently do around 10k miles a year, my daily commute is 15 miles each way on nation speed limit single carriage way. I would prefer a petrol but majority of the cars that i have been looking at have been diesel as due to the vast amount of them sold in the past.
I wouldn't mind another diesel i had a Passat before that got wrote off and got replaced with my current petrol car. I like the idea of having V6 or 8V as i think they will be gone in the future with the push over to electric etc.
My requirements, needs to be a large family car 5 seats, what rules out a CLS what i would love but i regularly have 5 of us in the car. A large boot as for that a allows me to fit a buggy in but my son should be out of it in the 6 month to a year and sometimes a wheel chair. I have been mostly looking at Saloons and estates. Not a massive fan of an SUV.
My short list at the moment:
Mercedes E-class
Bmw 5 Series
Lexus GS
Jaguar XF
