I quite like this Clicky

Even though it is advertised as a 2.7..... it's actually a 3.0.  Been on the forecourt since April, so £4k should take it!

i'd want more than 300 quid off if it's been sat 6 months , those square tyres will cost more than that to replace with round ones  :P

Cant justify 16mpg on a 2 mile journey to work then back anymore and LPG is getting hard to get off the beaten track  :(

Do you think a 2 mile journey in a diesel will do it any good?

No as the engine will not get warm

A 2 mile trip is a good candidate for a bike!

Or the smallest engined car you can find. Then have a proper car for everything else.

Of course, you could actually try looking...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-Audi-Allroad-2-5-TDI-quattro-5dr-/184420056114 :P

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-ALLROAD-QUATTRO-2-5-TDI-AUTO-SERVICE-HISTORY-/154080965582 more money, but arguably a better car ;)

The 2.5 is possibly a better engine than the twin turbo V6, certainly less complicated, although it is possible to get a 2.7 v6 diesel of '56 vintage in budget...


Nah
Decided to go for the big lump  ;)

Been seriously considering a milk float one day for when i'm even older and don't care about throwing a car around.
Will have to drop in price / increase in usable range first though  :-\
With a bit of luck, hydrogen will be viable by then    :y

You don't have to wear lycra on a bike. I never have in over forty years.

There are milk floats around which will easily out handle what you are proposing to get, as my neighbour will tell you  :y :y :y
