Hi all. I did a search which didn't really answer my question so here goes.
I currently have a 300 tdi seven seater, a 96 car. I currently sorn it for seven months of the year then out she comes for winter. She's not a bad one really.
As times are hard and I am downsizing my landscaping business I am thinking of getting rid of my van, and my summer car, and running one vehicle to save costs like RFL, insurance, servicing etc. Pulling a trailer etc. Judging by Autotrader etc I could potentially go for something 2001-2004. Am ambivalent about diesel or LPG, as running costs seem to be similar ish.
What I want to know is how practical as a full time car are they and how is the driving experience compared to an early car like mine? If I am going to divert serious funds in this direction it needs to be a real step up if you know what I mean.......Real world impressions/experiences are invaluable I find.
Cheers
John
