Hello. I do an 160 miles round trip, 3 times a week. I've been doing it do for in a 1.3 Punto, which has been OK but know it's knackered. I want to buy something second hand and cheap to replace it. I'm not bothered about what the car looks like or how it handles around a race track, as long as it gets me the 160 miles, 3 times a week.
I don't see the point in buying a new car as I'm doing 24k miles per year and it would run out quick. Ideally I'd want a something a bit larger than a Punto, which gave me some back problems. Obviously money is the big factor for me. I want to get maximum mileage for mimimum outlay, and minimum mpg.
Can anyone suggest the kind of thing I should look for? I really don't have much of a clue about cars, but I'm willing to do some research into it. I've seen a lot of diesel cars around 80k miles on the clock. Is that high, for a diesel? My Punto became unusable at 90k.
Thanks for any tips.
