My current daily is suffering from some [currently] undiagnosed engine and ECU problems.
I've been thinking of getting a new motor for a while but this might be forcing the hand.
Did nip to a couple of dealers yesterday and found a car I really like but on reflection I don't fancy a finance deal and would rather buy something outright if I can.
My shopping list isn't that long:
Most of all I am looking for something relatively hassle free. My life is too stressful at the moment to be burdened with anything extra.
I have £5,000 cash available but not really looking to blow my whole budget... I have a van to get through an MOT after all!
And as for location - I am working 6.5 day weeks so I can't be travelling too far for a car. Would consider something within about 100 miles of Leeds.
What have you got?
Cheers,
George

My shopping list isn't that long:
- Diesel, good MPG and not sluggish
- Cheap[ish] to insure (the Mrs is still a learner)
- Reliable
- Comfy
- Nothing too small. Saloons caught my eye yesterday but would consider larger hatchbacks
- Long MOT
- Clean, including bodywork
- Nothing fugly
