Hi all,
Hoping to upgrade my car next year, and want to buy a small diesel. Have between 8k - 10k to spend (in total, so VRT must be included in that), and ideally I'd like 03/04. Will be my first time buying a diesel, and I have a couple of questions:
1. Newer diesel cars (less than 5 years old) - do they still need to be serviced as carefully, or has the timing between services improved with the newer models?
2. Considering a toyota corolla, Ford Focus, Peugeot 307 or maybe a ford fiesta. Where can I find stats on these?
3. If I go to the UK to buy, is VRT on diesel's much more than on petrol? I would like a few extras (air con being the main), hence the buying from UK.
What else do I need to be aware of/look out for in a diesel?
thanks in advance
