  • Advice re buying a secondhand crossover 1 Jun 2017 (Forum)
    We tend to keep our cars as long as possible and drive them into the ground, so value retention isn't important - in fact if they have lost a significant amount from new that would be ideal. We're looking for a decent spec'd version with as many bells and whistles as possible. We aren't bothered by make so that isn't a consideration.
  • Low mileage Older Car 28 Apr 2017 (Forum)
    My concern is the exceptionaly low mileage.  I know there are variables but as a general rule is this a plus or minus or not important ?  Higher mileages are cheaper.  I realise no crystal balls available but is there anything expensive likely in the next 4 or 5 years ?  Anything to look out for ?  Any advice appreciated.

    I have been looking at Octavias - Honda Civics - Volvo V50 , Reliabilty and MPG are more important than gizmos or speeds but heard some horror stories with newer diesels . Current  car is a ford Fusion diesel that was bought at 85k and now just reached 150k but cost me a new clutch and Flyweek ( £700 )  - A couple of Leaking Injectors ( £300 )  - Shock Absorbers ( £150 )  in 3 years .
