Just looking around at a few different cars for a daily mileage eater and after a few suggestions (and links if you have them) to cars that would fit the bill.
Few things it must have.
- Decent MPG but can be petrol or diesel
Fit adults in the back, but doesn't have to have 4 doors
Largeish boot, can be hatch, saloon or estate
Needs to be a larger car, not a polo etc sized car
Needs to be cheap £700 max

you can pick up a lot of mid 90s volvos for around the £500 mark with tax and MOT. MPG depends on engine, my 2.5 isn't great unless you are on a run when you get 32.

If it wasn't an auto I might have been interested
I'd really like a E39 BMW Touring but they are too expensive

Don't blame ya, Autos suck. As much as it has a solid box, most boring drive of my life.
