Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Right heres the situation, looking to change car in the next month or so and wouldn't mind picking your brains.

    First and foremost I am open to pretty much anything, budget is in and around €10,000looking to change to a diesel, preferably 2.0 and below, driving a commercial van is an option too as normally it's just myself driving and lower tax would be nice bonus too.

    Outside of that, I'm not looking for a whole pile more, want a comfortable car too as I do one or two 150 mile plus journeys a week.

    As I said any opinions that you might have would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Tyres

    Looking to change car in the next month or so and wouldn't mind picking your brains.

    First and foremost I am open to pretty much anything, budget is in and around €10,000 and currently driving a petrol and am looking to change to a diesel, preferably 2.0 and below, Driving a commercial van is an option too as normally it's just myself driving and lower tax would be nice bonus too.
    I quite like the VW Golf Van as a commercial option and also am interested in seeing can I pick up a 06 Volvo S40 or Saab 93 for in and around 10 grand. Am I being too optimistic?

    Outside of that, I'm not looking for a whole pile more, want a comfortable car too as I do one or two 150 mile plus journeys a week.

    I've merged your threads, as you had an identical one already.

    How about something like this??
    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Ford/Focus-Van/1.8-TDCI/201008196998892/advert?channel=CARS

    Seems like a cracking car and good value and low mileage too. ;)

    Super low mileage alright...seems like it could fit the bill, you reckon there would be much scope for movement on the price?????

    At that price I wouldnt say you would get a major amount off but I'm sure there's a bit of room for negotiation. ;)
