help me buy a car

[carcrashtv]

I have mobility issues and an SUV would be my preference because they are easier to get in and out of. however, they are expensive and mostly to insurance and tax is high. I need the car to be automatic and petrol, not diesel. what can I get?

What’s your budget? I love our Tiguan. It’s petrol and automatic.

oh, need a decent boot size, 5 doors and at least 5 seats

£6k, £7k max...it's a challenge!

I'm very happy with my Honda CRV.

has anyone bought a car that they haven't test driven? I can find some that I'm interested in that can be delivered, too far away to go and test 🤷🏼‍♀️

Second the Honda crv. Plenty of petrol and automatics around. Easily seats two teens and smaller dc in the black. Boot is a tardis. I bought my 2015 for £5k a year ago.

Please be very careful with this, there are a LOT of car scams where they say pay a deposit and the car will be delivered and then if you don't like it they'll take it back. There's also ones where they just get you to pay all and say they'll deliver. Do not give any money unless you've got the car. If it's genuinely someone delivering with payment after delivery, consider getting a mechanic (I think AA or RAC do it too) to check before it's delivered to ensure it's not a dodgy car also.

I would never, ever buy a car without seeing it and test driving it. I would always buy through a local dealer.
