Buying an economical used car

What is the most economical used car, big enough to take golf clubs and motorised trolley in the back?

Focus ECOnetic. But diesels are not suitable for repeated short runs from cold starts, only for driving significant distances otherwise you will have a lot of expensive problems.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
