Suggestions for a car with £2500 - nathnamdo
I am looking to buy (preferably an estate) car with a budget of £2500. I am getting a car as my wife and I are expecting a child and it will be used to ferry mother and child around and also the odd weekend drive (100 miles or more). We require large boot space for pram and luggage (hence an estate). My priorities for the vehicle are safety (for child), reliability, value for money and cheap maintenance and insurance. Can anyone suggest a vehicle (date and approx mileage for £2500) and the best place to buy it dealer, auction etc...

Needed the same a few years ago and bought a Volvo 940 estate from PGI Farnham which was hiding at the back of the garage. SWMBO spotted it with damaged screen and cracked headlight. They fixed both, I parted with the cash for a car with 164k and ran it for several years.
