Largish Family Car - SUV?

I did have a look at SQ7 when you suggested. It reminded me of when I loaded a TV into one when I worked warehouse - man that thing looked badass. I couldn't find one that wasn't diesel in budget though?
Ah fair enough - thought you might have missed the post. Yeah the SQ7 was a diesel until 2021, then switched to petrol.
You can get the facelift petrol V6 (S4/5 engine) or even a hybrid at the top-end of your budget. Even with the batteries in the boot it's quick.
 
You were looking at G Wagons so thought it would fit right in. ;)
Pickup is tiny penis extension. G Wagons are tiny penis advertisements.

I'll take a look again, thanks.

The disappointing thing about this whole experience is, you know service is going to be garbage from any of the marques. It is a real shame. I remember going to get my Dad's Escorts (the car) and being given flowers, red carpet, drive it out of the dealer etc...
 
God. Here is a depressing idea.

Insurance on the E43 is a grand. It owes me nothing basically - I paid £30k and it's still pretty much in the ballpark 4-5 years later.

I could get an ID5, whack ~25k in the bank, avoid £1k + road tax + servicing + MOT. £410 a month........nil deposit. Enyaq is £460/mo.

I don't really pay for my own fuel though.......serious man maths required.

Edit: is Ford Explorer really 374 miles?

The V8 diesel is pretty Epic and sounds good.
 
What's the craic with cancelling insurance? I think I'll have to keep the E43 for the next few weeks no matter what. Can I then cancel and get pro-rate refund?
 
You understand this puts you on par with jp right? :cry: :cool::D
Touché.

I'll be honest, I didn't read the thread responses.

My more serious suggestion is to look at a Q6 eTron or A6 eTron on SS if you want to go down the EV route. Or as you say, Id.4/5/Explore/Enyak/Capri(lol) if you want to save some cash.
