Diesel autos? - ideas?

    Okay - I posted recently about Jaguar XF Vs Skoda Superb as a possibility for his next car.

    Could have just booted up that thread again - but thought a new one might be better.

    I suppose what im wondering is - what options are out there for diesel Autos in the 08/09 type age bracket apart from those 2 that I may not have thought off.

    I know 520d is a potential option BUT - he had issues with a BMW previously - and a 520d of that age is from the era where they had the issues with the chain costing lots to fix - right????

    Honda Accord would be another option if you could find one - but they are very rare.

    Hes not keen on Passats :confused: - I am however keeping an eye out on CCs which is possibly an option

    What am I missing - it looks like unless Ive over looked something - 2010/2011 might be a better option for him even if he has to wait a while.

    Something he doesn't mind doing incidentally.

    Budget - now this is the tricky bit - he hasn't set a budget as such but is looking at things in terms what the car would cost in terms of things like fuel/depreciation etc - and factoring that into a running cost per year.

    So his thinking is - he priced up a 2012 car - it cost less on fuel and tax then his current car - a lot less - but the depreciation was a lot more - and they end up thus costing about the same :confused:
