15k to spend on a diesel

stek · 10-10-2008 1:54am #1

VW, honda, nissan, audi, toyota?
Mercs and BMW's are too pricey.
Ive spent the last month looking at every diesel that has past me by trying to decide which to buy!
Im driving a Bora at the mo and all due respect its boring the life out of me! Ive no snappers,30+, dont know flip all about motors, but do know I want a good diesel. Driven petrol all my life, time for a change.
your advice is respected and appreciated.

what about a Skoda Octivia?....
I'm going to the U.K next week for the father in-law (maybe not after the budget) for a 7 month, 4000miles old 1.9 tdi 105hp,ambenitne, road tax 150e. 15400euro on irish plates.....that's value.

but the Accord is a great car. Brother has 1 and loves it.

Go to Cargiant.co.uk and pick up an Audi A4 landed vrt for that price.

I seen a super 2005 BMW 320d leather alloys 3dr landed and all for 16500e. with 58k miles.

You only live once, look after yourself.

No snappers = Alfa GT 1.9 JDT
You'd probably pick one up for €17 - 20k in Ireland, and even less from UK.
Example: http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/Alfa-Romeo/GT/1.9-LUSSO/1185744/

I'm must be the only person who thinks these are better looking than the Brera.

Would a 530D really be more then 15k. Looked on carzone and there are alot for that range. Super car. Unless you want newer than 03. But still that 530 was a brilliant brilliant car.

How about a Peugeot 406 coupe diesel. Very stylish looking car and should be reliable if looked after.
