RedSZ Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi I have had a Passat TDi130 SE estate which is coming up for end of lease. Rather than lease again I would prefer to buy an older reliable estate for £2-5K. I am considering Volvo 940, 850; Mondeo or Avensis. Anyone got any advice / thoughts? My main priority is reliability as the Passat has had to have replacement gearbox, flywheel, 2 clutches in less than 30k miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi, This might not be big enough, but I've just bought a 1994 BMW 525iSE estate in dark metallic blue with silver leather, double length sunroof and a few other extras. Got it from a local BMW specialist with warranty, service etc for a little over £2.5k. It's comfy, goes well enough, stereo sounds okay, is in cracking condition and looks alright - just the ticket for keeping the miles off the Supra and doing the trips to the local tip Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 We have an Avensis at the moment - it's 'ok' but nothing special, I'd probably buy the T5 Chris Wilson mentioned last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 If you can find me an RS6 for £2-5k - here's my cheque book !!! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Brother Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I know of an 'R' plate Volvo V40 with 115k on the clock going for £2200 or best offer above that, if you're interested? Based in Norwich as well, so not a million miles away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
