Good afternoon
Right I posted a while back explaining that I had a new job etc and was looking to buy a second hand car for around the 7k mark and asked for suggestions.
Now to be honest I think i've completely changed my mind based on a thread I saw here the other day. Now what i'm thinking of doing is buying something for around the 2k mark. Now my journey to work will be about 70 miles aday so i'm looking for cheap motorway cruiser thats diesel.
Now I know a few of you may think that my idea seems crazy and by all means give your reasons behind your thinking. But my reasons are basically i think if i have something cheap that will do me for a year 18months max in the mean time I can save up for something a little better.
I've spotted some very nice Mondeo's from about £1700-2000 with about 80k on the clock 2000-2002 models. Also seen some Ford Focus for about the same amount of money. Whats the difference between Mondeo's and Focuses. Other then one is bigger then the other
. They all seem to be about the same other then engine size and trim.
I really dont know if this is a good idea but thought I would let OCUK motor gang cast judgement on my lackless knowledge and correct me at will
If there are any other suggested cars please let me know.
Cheers
