Hi all,
Just another spec me thread with a budget of £7k, bear in mind this is N.Ireland pricing so a bit pricier compared to mainland.
Currently drive a '04 Focus 1.6 Petrol and do just shy of 10k miles per year mostly used on motorway for 26 miles per day. Main requirements are;
- petrol
- 5 doors
- hatchback
- similar or faster than current car
- cheaper tax(currently £180)
- usual electrics that come with newer cars these days(bluetooth/AC/etc). Cruise control would be a bonus.
Currently looking at the following;
- 2013 Focus 1.0 Ecoboost 125bhp with 55k miles for £6000
- 2014 Leon 1.2 TSI with 45k miles for £7000
These would be my first picks but also looked at Auris/Ibiza/Fiesta
Any do's and don'ts or other recommendation would be appreciated. Anything in particular to look out for on the focus/leon mentioned?
