€6000, ANY suggestions welcome.

CharlieCroker

Will prob need to change the car in the next few months to a diesel.
ANY suggestions? Only must is that it has to be diesel.
I do want a bit of spec though so:
Air-con
Electrics
CD
Remote Locking
and all the usual stuff.
Cruise Control would be nice 'cos I used to use it all the time.
Driving a 2003 156 at the moment so similiar size please, but any body style.
Max 2.5 litre to cos of the tax.

Sorry if I seem to be hijacking this thread with my own personal agenda... But has anyone ever driven a 320 CD? Are they a good car? Strongly considering this as my next car :pac:

Something like a 2nd hand Mondeo. Plenty of cheap 02 and maybe even 03 models for that sort of money out there. Most would have central locking, air con et al.

The mondeo was a big seller too so there should be plenty of cars for sale out there in the market place.

that 607 isnt bad. Great spec. I'm only in my mid 20's though so don't really need a grand-dad wagon.

Get yourself a BMW 318 coupe. Probably 00. If your buying with cash or privately you should be able to get one for this price if you shop around.

would you consider a saab ? i bought a 2003 2.2tid vector last year for €7,000 and have to say that it's great. c/c air con, leather etc. i did put a new intercooler into it due to the fact that it was smoking heavily (bought it for €120 on e-bay and fitted it myself and now despite that fact that i have 130,000 miles up it's averaging 51mpg and feels as good as new to drive.

How about an Audi TT(225)? 4WD, 225 bhp, cheap tax and insurance and you'll get one in from the UK for that budget!

EDIT: never mind, I didn't read the original post so I didn't see the bit about it being a diesel.

CharlieCroker

BMW 318 is out cos its petrol. Had 2 E46's already anyway so wouldn't mind something different.
Volvo is nice alright. Fan of them. Brother has an S80 and is a great bus.
Alfa is another option. That one's not bad, just swap the wheels off of my one.

Thanks lads/lassies
