Looking for a new car - ideas please.
I'm in the market for a new car.
Ideally low mileage and not more than a couple of years old. Budget 8 to 9K. I commute to work 4 days a week - a round trip of 70 miles each day. Completely open to suggestion here. One other thing - I won't be trading a vehicle in as part of the deal - how much of a negotiating bonus is that likely to be? |

if your commuting long distances, although i dont like diesels a skoda fabia VRS might be worth a look, cheap little thing and it is efficient and being a diesel very economical as well and a hoot to drive, comfy also, what do you mean by low mileage though?
are we talking in the region of 0-2,000 or anywere up to about 10,000? |

then i reccomend a skoda fabia VRS, will give you some sportiness and hot hatchyness and good performance with fab economy and good levels of comfort and reliability.
you could probably get a pretty much brand new one from a car supermarket place fords of winsford for £9,000 but good luck with whatever car you buy though |

Get a Skoda Octavia TDi - tonnes of space, plenty of poke, good on fuel.

Considering that the OP asked the question nearly six months ago, I think you may be too late with advice!
