Feel free to tell me I’m bonkers!

Professor Dawkins would probably say self-evidently so - but I don't think we can advise you unless we know a little more about your mechanical capability to service and maintain cars, and your budget.

Perhaps from a financial point of view you're bonkers, but I understand the appeal in something like a Range Rover V8, even if it's historically one of the most unreliable cars ever made.

With your sensible shoes on you'd keep the cars you have as you know their history. If you did want a change then a Honda Civic 1.8 CVT estate would be a good bet. If it's Japanese and petrol then it's generally difficult to go wrong. What's your budget?

If you are planning to sell for £6K and have some change after buying something else, that something will be oldish and hence require increasing expenditure on maintenance. That would suggest that buying privately - i.e.from someone who can tell you about what you are buying.

But I hadn't realised that the life of a parish priest allowed for a stable of three vehicles, never mind exchanging them on a whim ,., :-)

In your position, if I didn't have the MX-5, I'd be looking for something more fun to drive than the Logan. But you do have it, and that makes the argument stronger for keeping the Logan.

MX-5s are great, but any old car will at some point need repairs / replacements, so I think having two old cars might be a gamble too far. OK, an old Volvo and (especially) an old Toyota would be less of a gamble - but they're unlikely to be any more fun to drive than the Logan.

Maybe keep the Logan and save up for a bit for an eventual 6-cylinder replacement for the MX-5?
