Fast estate cars for small money.

Pete M · 2007-08-22T17:19:49+00:00

Due to business expansion and the Rangie still having a dead gearbox, I'm on the look-out for a quick, large, cheap estate car to replace the Golf.Budget is whatever I can get for the Golf or possibly a swap, I don't really want to have to put money towards the change.Stuff I'm looking for is as follows (all estates)Granada 2.9 24vOmega 3.0Mondeo 2.5Volvo T5Mk2 Granada 2.8iMercedes 280 / 300 / 320Sierra 2.8 / 2.9 Ghia 4x4BMW 530i Touring (although not really big or cheap enough)Subaru Legacy TurboInsurance and fuel costs aren't an issue, being quick, big and reliable would all be good.I don't mind having to do a bit of work on whatever, but obviously I'm not in the mood for rebuilding something, just need something that'll work hard and go well.Anyone got any other suggestions for quick estates for sensible money?

Not enough rust.

You mean too much metal?

'some' metal.

Although the pedantic side of me is screaming that rust is metal too....

Yeah it was. Was running a server reinstall which meant pushing a few buttons then waiting 6 hours.
