That CR-V is dirt cheap - so cheap I wonder whats wrong with it?! My Mum paid £5500 for an 04 plate CR-V Sport with 80k on it in January this year (although that was at a stealer)
Great car though - loads of room and nice to drive - very refined too.

That did cross my mind, but if your serious and you can't find anything wrong with it yourself, pay for a vehicle inspection. It is a trade sale so you have some protection by law, just see if it is with a reputable dealer. And it's so cheap you can afford to take out a warranty.

check out your local car auction houses, might be a few reclaimed cars there going cheep,
also, consider a Rover 25/MG ZR (same car but the MG is more sporty) 1.4l engine but has enough power in it to show an audi TT who really has cahones... I'll give you a clue, NOT the TT. Alternatively, look for a fiat Punto, nice little engine, goes like stink and handles as well as a bike accross sailsbury plain at +70 MPH *cough*I didnt do that guv, honest*cough*. my 3rd suggestion is a Seat Leon, i want an 09 model myself as i drove one in Ibiza last year and loved the fact it'll do 30-40Mph in 1st, then i tried to change gear with the door handle but thats a different story. I also reccomend the following (prices may be outside your range though) Kia Cee'd 2 - might gain you a few points in the process but a totally fun car. Ford Focus - seamed to be pretty nice 250 miles in one was comfy enough. Astra 1.6 - dont get the bigger one as it felt slower and drank more fuel. The last 3 are from recent trips i've taken to Exeter from Cardiff for work (114 miles each way), was nice having a different car each week to test drive. |
