Another recommend me a car thread...
Welcome to yet another recommend me a car thread.
The car need to be/have: Loads of load space Super reliable Economy not too bothered as it will be relatively infrequently used Not a green golf convertible Capable of munching big miles on the odd occasion as cheap as possible look relatively respectable. So what suggestions do you have for me wise org'ans? There are loads of options out there just need a few suggestions to focus me down a bit. ta |

When you say "Cheap as possible" how much do you actually want to spend.

Re: Another recommend me a car thread...
A big volvo estate..... put a towbar onto it, and you've got the jack of all trades car for not a lot of money... ideal for general trailer towing, long weekend camping trips, and messy kids. very comfy motor for long haul trips..
My cousin has a '97 R plate estate with 195,000 miles on the clock, and it still keeps going..... Takes 2.4 kids, a weeks shopping, horsey stuff, a labrador, and it still tows a 1.5 tonne double axle trailer at 70mph..  Only cost her £500
