Hi
My faithful skoda Fabia is, I fear, just about to be condemned. Cost £4,000 second hand, have had it over 7 years, it's done 130,000 miles.
And I just don't know what to do, but need to do something quickly as DH and I both need cars for work.
I'd like to take the opportunity to get a car bigger than the Fabia in case DC2 comes along. Not sure how much bigger!
We could pay about 4,000 from savings but any more expensive and we'd need a loan.
The kinds of things we have identified are Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla. Realise Ford Focus would be a sensible addition to the list but I find them rather dull (no offence meant). I always assumed I'd upgrade to an Octavia but they appear to hold their value too well (ie are expensive).
Does anyone have any ideas, there is just too much choice. Any thoughts on mileage vs age. Is it worth spending more (and then even more due to interest)?
Help!!!! Thanks in anticipation.
