How much can you spend on a not-that-nice car?

[brickwall]

Over £29k on a French MPV stbox

[jamiebae]

I think the current leader has to be the £21k diesel Corsa, although raiding the accessories catalogue for a roof box, first aid kit and high-viz jacket isn't quite in the spirit if the thread

I'd rather have the V6 DSG Skoda for £30k than the £31k diesel Passat I think though, although I wouldn't be so keen on the fuel bills, or depreciation!

Think I've got the winner

Am I the only one that saw the name of the car, then noticed the proximity of the 'C' and 'V' keys on their keyboard and chuckled at the thought that it was all a bit of a typo

[LuS1fer]

I got up to just shy of £23k for a Prius.

THREE roof boxes!!!

Immediate disqualification for that one then

Right, I'm off to try and find something to top the £47k 4-pot-devils-urine-drinking X3

I'm quite enjoying this - £31,675 for a Passat diesel auto estate?! OK, it has DVD nav, xenons, leather etc etc but still!

I got it to £32,105
I got the CC to £39,100. That's over £39k for a passat!!!!!!

I can get it over 50k...the engine might be too good...but you still end up with an X3 so I think it counts...

[David87]

That's right... a Mercedes bus for £63,196! In beige. Good thread.

[evenflow]

I specifically went for the boggo 2.0d engine, just to make it that soupcon less desirable - but point taken - still an X3!

[jamiebae]

Base model diesel Audi Q5 - £48,685. And it's in the seemingly-obligatory for this thread metallic beige/brown

[sassthathoopie]

£70k for a fully loaded beige people carrier although it does have 21" wheels and a V8...

[brickwall]

Anything German has to be disqualified surely?

Can you really say that any Audi or BMW is as truly not-as-nice as a Corsa or something French?
