Right....  

By wednesday morning  8am , i HAVE to be fully equipped with a vehicle , taxed, tested, and running reliably....  (School run followed by working on Site in Fulham.....  )

come hell , high water, rain , snow, planet killing asteroids or whatever.

Budget, top whack , absolutely no further, and MUST include at least 8 weeks , prefer longer,  road tax...  , £1800 CASH.


Preferences.
NO Older than 1998. No more than say 150K with history

Omega Elite Estate , Pref 3.0/3.2 with ALL the trimmings, inc Sat Nav
 ( eg a direct replacement for my poorly Elite which JamesV6CDX is having on monday. )
lower mileage and history is as important as age....   for miggy's if it ain't got Xenon/HID lights , I'm not keen.


Or Any other V6 omega estate considered.

OR

any other V6 Estate or MPV. .
\

i'd consider a 4 pot alternative or diseasel ONLY if nothing else turns up, or they have ultra reliable reputations, full approved service record, and a page 3 model free of charge.,

in the unlikely event that anyone proposes a V8, they'd be looked at cheerfully , but SWMBO is looking at running costs with an evil glint in her eye...  

 
I'm asking because you lot usually have a wealth of alternative resources other than just Autotrader, Ebay, or Fish4.

and I have limited time to spend looking ....   heavy work and family commitments this weekend.



HELP !!!!

I'll bear it in mind Chris...   thanks...   I MAY have solved the issue, but we'll see...

update.,

BECAUSE I'm panicking, and have an absolutely set in stone deadline , I've put a deposit on a car in Sheffield.....

Now I just have to figure out how to get to Sheffield in a limited time frame...  

Late V Reg , just sub 100K, FSH, 3.0 Mini-facelift Elite auto Estate. in black...  leathers and all the toys...  

err basically my old car , but newer, on a V plate.

they had it up for @£1800 , I knocked £200 off it for pure cheek, (eg by asking "intensely" )


if once I've viewed it and tested it,  I don't want it, they'll refund the deposit.

Now then, About getting to bloody Sheffield......
