Automatic Saloons 2009 and newer

flipsat · 31-03-2016 12:45AM #1

I need an automatic car, ideally around 2012 and if possible a saloon. Have a budget of around E12000. Have seen a Peugeot 508 which is a possibility. Not sure where to look for automatic cars as with many adverts you have to wade through oceans of geared cars to find only a few automatics. Are there any known specialists for such cars? Any help would be appreciated.

Both carzone and donedeal have a filter box you can tick to select automatic only when searching.

Out of curiosity and not to hijack the op's post, but how does the BMW 5 series auto box compare with the VAG DSG?

From usability point of view? Both are similar: very good.

From technical point of view? COMPLETELY different (Dual-Clutch vs Torque-Converter, unless talking about Mx which use DCT as well).

Is anyone aware of any dealers who are known to have automatics on a regular basis. I will try Carzone and Done Deal of course.

The only dealers that specialise in automatic tend to be ones importing small cars from Japan.
