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?

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.

If you're considering EVs, do some real bum in seat investigation.

In person, a lot of the cars 'felt' a lot cheaper than they looked in the photos, the ID5 being one of them. I'd have taken the Enyaq over it any day.
 
For people that want the SUV experience (i.e. want to be high up), but also want a 'coupe style' body and don't actually need any of the space offered by an SUV because only they will ever be in it and they'll never put anything in the boot.
