yup its here.
wife and i have decided that a people carrier is on the cards after xmas. been looking at a couple of Zafira gsi's around the 10.5 k mark. Anyone suggest a suitable alternative to a sensible family car for around 10k.
Yes, sure - no problem.
1500 quids worth of Merc 230 -250 or 300 estate or more probably a 525TDS touring. All the car you need.Ten and a half grand of Zafira - get real. Five year deal - right?
Get the Turbo'd one and dish out some embarrassment!
not quite a five year stitch up 3k down then 200 ish a month for 3 years
its time for sensibility and it will go nice beside wifeys sensible car :)
the gsi is the turbo'd one :)

Mitsubishi Space Wagon, 2.4 gdi, cheaper to run and not too slow but much better built than the shabby (I've had two) Zafira.
theres also a 2l 16v sri Zafira.

people carriers = the product of a society that breeds too much ;)

Take a look at the following - it's an E430 (that's 4.3 V8 - serious performance) at £10K with 7 seats :

Agreed. I've got one of them ... although I'm checking the bank balance to see if I can afford the E430 posted earlier.
