Something comfy and auto 2.5 litre max sub 3k.

Hey guys.

Need to buy something this week as I am carless come Monday evening.

Will only be keeping the car for 9 months but all the same I can't stomach a ecobox as I'm 6"2 and 19 stone and only do 10-12k miles a year.

Criteria
- Comfy
- Automatic
- Max 2.5 litres
- Relatively reliable
- Won't be something I can't sell come 2019.

I like Volvo's. Especially the 2008 era S80's bit older Volvo stuff is grand too. E39 5 series are getting old now and hard to insure. E60's are troublesome etc

Anyway all suggestions welcome.
SG

A MK1 Ford S-Max Titanium 2.5 Turbo.

I've a 2006 e60 for last 2 years and it hasn't been troublesome at all. 2.5 petrol, small money now. Could have your pick of a few for sub 3k but selling anything big like that or the Volvo won't be straightforward or quick.

Seems a bit cheap for a 08 and mentions it was a trade in to clear so might be a bit risky. Would certainly want it properly checked out first as a cheap BMW usually ends up being an expensive BMW.

I would be looking at a Lexus IS250. Ticks all of the boxes.

6'2 and 19 stone... Is250 would not be a comfy place to be

Missed the 19 stone part.

That was up last week for closer to 5k.

Absolutely lovely car, well wear. Can't go too far wrong for that money. And the best seats of any car this side of an S-Class.

SE Lux too, nice buy.

Snap, just bought one of these myself last week. Lovely car to drive, very happy with it so far. Well wear....

Something comfy and auto 2.5 litre max sub 3k.
