The Ulez expansion looks to be calling my hand in trading up my current diesel as simple journeys will end up costing me more. I always intended to run the car to moon miles as did motorway journeys until recently.
I have a budget of around 15k but would prefer to spend around 10k and put the rest to maintenance or fund the family wagon which also needs replacing at some point.
I have always had a soft spot for the VW R32 MK4 and MK5. Apart from the high road tax it seems to cover a lot of what looking for doing 50 odd miles a week.
The other ones are Edition 30 MK5 GTI, standard MK5 GTI or the Audi variants from similar era. Others that crop up are m135i, 130i or even a C55.
As you can see it is all over the shop. As I don't do many miles in the car and commute locally just want something that is far removed from the diesel.
