Hi all, I recently did bit of damage to the front of my Citroen C4, the latest in a list of things to go wrong with it so I'm going to sell it on as soon a it's patched up. I see they're going for about €14500 second hand so I might look for €13500 to get a quick sale and be rid of it. There was no chassis damage done so car should hopefully pass any inspection potential buyer puts it under.
I want to change to something ultra reliable that I can drive into the ground for the next 4 or 5 years. I was thinking of an 02 Mazda 6.
Basically I want to subtract cost of fixing the C4 (2 - 3k) from what I get for it and buy something with the balance. Maybe 10 or 11 grand.
I looked on autotrader.co.uk and found a few for around £5 - £6k. adding in estimated VRT (from revenue website) and taking off a bit for negotiation and discount for paying cash this should come out at roughly the right price.
What would your anyones thoughts on this be? Are these too cheap for comfort? Possible bangers? Any other suggestions about what to do with my few quid would also be appreciated. Key word: RELIABILITY!
