graham frankland Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Keep the Multipla as your tow vehicle if it still reliable and is used just for events. You can still buy a lot of fuel for the price of a newer 4 x 4 and retain your capital Sell the Merc for the cheapest commuter car you can find The Citroen Diesels are very economical and careful seeking out of the right model can be fairly cheap secondhand! Good hunting Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 graham problem is i seem to spend most my time m.o.t ing cars all year and its always at the wrong time . want a couple of years of freedom. and road tax plus insurances is a killer on 4 cars. just need some cheaper vehicles to run. [its a bit like the central heating boiler] new is going to be cheaper over the long run. multipla not going to last forever. it time for change. rather keep the merc but may as well get some money back on it while its still worth something.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Kia seem to be almost in that strange cross over land where Skoda were some years ago, they're gaining more and more respect from the people I know that have actually had or tried their cars. Yet the image still lags behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think their now the 4th largest manufacturer in the world. Or something like that. NO! they are the 8th. At number 8 on the list of top ten motor manufacturers is South Korean manufacturer Hyundai-Kai who produce 2,777,137 cars approx. every year.Read more: http://www.gizmocrazed.com/2010/08/top-10-car-manufacturers-in-the-world/#ixzz2HN16ZA5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 For your little car howz about a Skoda Citigo, VW Up. Lots of MPG, A bit of quality in both and they always look stylish for a good few years, I find SE Asian cars always look out of date after 2 or 3 years.

ajpearson Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 mmmm I need a new car also, fed up of driving the Pick Up all the time, its far too heavy on the diesel and now getting old. So I was thinking SKODA Octavia VRS, any views on these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
