new cars

[pete g]

due to my new job a need a cheap run about for work and a new tow vehicle.

 

the merc and multipla must sadly go .for new vehicles

 

for work im thinking ford ka or c1 or kia . cheap tax and cheap fuel costs

 

for towcar looking for 4x4 with about 170bhp diesel

main contender  at moment kia due to 7 year trouble free package [good on fuel]

but will look at any recomended vehicles

 

whats your recommended vehicle and why

[Crash test dummy]

Listening with interest.

Google freedomcontracts. There are some bargain lease deals about at the moment so it is hardly worth bothering to buy a new car.

[pete g]

i hear what you say but lease is not for me

[Crash test dummy]

Lots of views but no comment.

 

Pete, you and I must be the only sad bas*ards looking to buy commuters.

 

Kia Picanto Halo looks like a good deal at the moment. Tax free, 68mpg (in ideal conditions), 1.2 engine and 7 years warranty with lots of toys. Anyone have any opinions?

[pete g]

going to look a ford ka tomorrow £5999 at dag motors  or was it £6999 lol  brand new

 

just checked £6995 dont seem to bad

[Crash test dummy]

Sounds good Pete. What toys does it have. A/C, elec windows, parking sensors etc etc etc.?

[pete g]

no get b******* all. but will check tomorrow get 1,2 engine lol

[Crash test dummy]

Mmmm. I'm thinking that sitting on the M25 on a hot summers afternoon is going to need A/C at least (oh and alloy wheels  ).

What is it with you and fugly cars? Multiplas and KAs top the list

 

Get something like a 12 month old diesel Fiesta or Pug 207. I've got a 1.4HDi of the latter. 65mpg and free road tax plus easy 90mph when needed. Luvly jubby

 

Tow car wise, not got any ideas yet

[pete g]

new ka look quite nice now john. hoping they going to update it with the new 1litre turbo unit. no point getting a 1 year old car these days.

new cars seem cheaper with all the discounts about

would like a new fiesta. looks nice with that aston martin grill but to pricey

 

 

  steve air con and electric windows and central locking £8200

[Crash test dummy]

Picanto, peeeeeeeecanto!

[pete g]

Picanto, peeeeeeeecanto!

maybe depends on the deal  

 

steve halo is £10000  top of the range ka only £9500

[boris77]

Isn't the ford ka a fiat 500 underneath? The C1 is a Toyota Aygo and a Pegeot 107. Kia seem to of come on a long way from reviews etc. 

 

Tow, Skoda Yeti 170 diesel? Missus has the 1.2 2wd and its a comfy car, great for chucking about. People on briskoda seem happy enough with its towing (1800kg braked apparently), although I guess it depends what your lugging about.

[pete g]

yes might look at skodas as well.

and yes your right about the others all very similar
