Is decent mileage a priority

In terms of a car I can get decent mileage out of? Iā€™m not doing huge mileage these days. I had a month earlier this year were I did 7000km, but most months would be anywhere from 2-2500km Iā€™d say

I was going to suggest going down the years and look for a land cruiser. Youā€™d have to go down a right few but if itā€™s well looked after youā€™d have it for as long as you want it.
An older a4 or a6 would be a nice option. Mechanics know their way around them, theyā€™re easy on juice and they feel fresh with big milesā€¦unlike a BMW.

Iā€™d say Iā€™d be going back a bit for an A4 in my price class
Not sure would I quite need the land cruiserā€¦wouldnā€™t have even thought of it.

Just looked and a few decent A4s that might be in my budget up North. Hadnā€™t considered theyā€™d be in my range at all. good call pal

The 6 is solidā€¦I think their diesel is used by Peugeot and ford so should be easy to keep. Looks nice also

Buy the Mazda. :+1:

Big boot?

Small boot. The battery uses up a lot of space. On the other hand it means the car is silent. You know the rest ā€¦

Does Bobby get a spin in it?

He does. I have a carrier for him for long runs. But for short spins he sits in the front seat
