Basically thinking of buying something better,
- Diesel
- Not a 306
- Not a vectra
-about 2.5-3k
-not a golf
What would you buy?
I'm heavily considering chopping the vectra in for an A3 TDI 140 05ish. Probably slightly over budget (I've looked at an 05 plate s line with 106k on it for £3695)
Easy...
BMW 320/325 diesel turbo.
My friends recently bought an 04 a3 and it is nice, think i want to move away from hatchbacks though

This is my exact idea at the moment, just seeing if anyone had any other ideas
Audi is a good shout my mates just bought one.. But if I was spending the money it would be on the bimmer.
Or x type jag?
Not a hatchback - Saab..... I think Niall will agree.

I was just gonna ask what you are wanting from your next car as I loved my old disco, my brother in laws mate has a white disco with a straight thru, Bosch turned up & it's a fooking tank. Epic
I have a mondeo already, so want something different to that,
good suggestions though thanks guys
That hilux is sick, but not really what im after
Tbh theres not much about for £3k...if you can go to £4k seems to be more about. That might just be around here though.
What do you actually want from the car? MPGs? Looks? Handling? Spec?
Basically something like a bmw 320d
Tom there is loads for 3k
And to be fair Stephen.. If your looking for something "like" a 320.....
Just get a 320.

I must just be too picky then.
Alfa 156
Should get a 2.4 jtd 20 valve for that amount
175bhp out the box
I'd have 330d sport just make sure its a 3.0 and 6spd not the 2.9 5spd, they can be found for a smidge over 3k so with a bit of haggling should be in budget.
Had a 320d sport and always regretted not getting a 330 at the time
I was in this exact position yesterday, today i own a Focus.
If you're getting a 3 series (e46 I'm guessing?) I'd go with the 330. However a Hilux is way more win
An ovlov would be very cool too.

And ive been looking for a few months now for a car, i honestly dont think i could have purchased somthing better for the purpose it will be used! And its a pug engine, thats enough to keep me happy!
James how much did you pay for that if you don't mind me asking?
Exactly 3k mate!
-Leather heated seats
-Air con
-Cruise
-2.0 Tdci (HDI!)
-113k w/Cambelt etc done.
etc etc.
Its a Ghia whatever that means, wont lie id rather be in somthing French, but 307s/c4s are not a viable option.
Seems cheap for an '07 diesel Focus!
Ghia is top spec on those too iirc, unless they do Titanium on Focii.
Yeah i know it seems silly putting up this thread when i seem to of already made up my mind, but just wanted other peoples opinions incase there was something i hadnt thought of that i would like! Thanks for the input, yeah oringally i was looking at the 330, but its just quite a lot more on insurance and running costs would prob be more so i think a 320 would do then could always sell it in for a 330 if i wanted to when insurance was a bit cheaper
Wow I'm surprised at that price for something that new! Looks like a very solid purchase
