Kate would just pay for an hour and get 'caught in traffic'. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Oofers are usually very picky about which cars they would buy and which to avoid.

For example, french cars seem to be frowned upon.

I think that for your budget and needs Kate, a car that has been looked after is more important than the make.    And they are out there, you just have to be patient and keep your eye out. 

As to French cars, if you see a Peugeot 406 estate with the 2.0 ltr HDI engine, that's been looked after, has a long MOT and is in budget, grab it! 

Inevitably though with bangernomics you either throw them away or end up spending time and money.

Would a Ford Galaxy be any good?

Would a Ford Galaxy be any good?

They're usually like cheap vans: barely hanging on.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Would a Ford Galaxy be any good?

So many questions, woman.

[Kate]

I need answers please.

[BazaJT]

For any given price range you might get a better Seat Alhambra than Galaxy[they're the same vehicle along with the VW Sharan]if that's the sort of thing you're looking at.Don't forget to get the full carrying capacity in the early ones you have to take the seats out completely-and they're heavy!]Basically set your budget and explore all options for the size/carrying capacity you're wanting with as long an M.o.T. as possible[check M.o.T. history on line] and hopefully you'll drop on one that doesn't need too much spending on it too soon.

[Kate]

Thanks very much for that

[Sir Tigger KC]

Here you go Kate these might be worth a lookysee.

This one needs a bit of TLC, but the guys off travelling on the 18th so needs to get rid, if he still has it then offer him £100.

Everyone who has had a Forester raves about them, so it might be worth a bit of effort if you can get it cheap!
