Here ya go, 57 plate so loads of warranty left, nice spec and a lovely car to drive albeit one you probably cant say wow about, better than a Lancer in every way though lol!! Cruise, Climate etc

And 130ps Diesel!

Loads of choice of these, and Vectras etc, pretty much brand new, all from Dealers with the associated facilities, P/Ex etc

That didn't help!!

Just thrown more blasted choices in to the equation. For goodness sake you swines, stop giving me more options! Lol

Haha sorry I apologise, its just nice when people are driving something that completely satisfies their needs, I enjoy pairing our employees with an appropriate vehicle, how sad....

I will shut up now......

Mitsubishi have just reduced the price of the old model Lancer to £8999. Chuck in the Multipla and I'll be paying about £6500 for a brand new car

£6500 is a lot of money. Just think how many repairs to a Multipla that will get you - at least enough for the next three years

I'd say go for a second hand Mondeo TDi. Well built, reliable, nice to drive, relatively cheap to service and with the money left over compared with getting a Mitsubishi you can get yourself a very nice classic Panda for playtime

Oh, and VW's are NOT as well built or reliable as their past reputation suggests (check out the reliability surveys) and modern Mercedes are little more than a joke since Chrysler took them over.

Definitely think you should consider a Croma though. A 1 year old example will probably have done most of its depreciation already! You'll get a lot of car for not a lot of money

But the most important thing of all is to get a little classic Panda. Everything else is irrelevant

Nuova and anyone else who loves Fiats, have a look at me photo album. A couple of comedy moments there, including the 126 with a roof rack, boot rack and trailer (at the same time) and how not to service a Strada...

Will only buy a Fiat second hand.......... The only reason I'm considering buying new is that I can afford the Lancer.

Still not decided. And they're still £8999 OTR.....
