budget 7 seater......

[Ian Jones]

Hi all, I am wondering if you can help please.

I am looking to buy a 7 seater with around 3k to spend.

I think I have found the car that I will be looking for, but wanted to see if there any other options.

The car that I think I am going to try and find is a Hyundai Trajet. 2L diesel auto (manuals have weak boxes)

I like the trajet because the size if the thing, the front seats can swivel around to face the back, when all seats are removed, it is like a can.

In other cars/suv/van, I would like it to be a auto, as much space inside as poss, no read bad mpg.

I am not keen on the kia version as they have a problem with fuel pumps going and cost meag ££ to fix, am open to something JDM, or van type

what else could you recommend please?

thanks
ian

thank you, ill have a look.

I have had a 2.0L grand espace before, and that was a very nice car. but just to many problems, get them fixed, then more problems..

looking at something like this, but from the pics, the sill has been bent over and poss knock at the rear, if the bodywork was in better condition, then it would be ideal

Syringe?

what make is that please?

or can anyone think of any van type? I like the hyundai i800, but way to expensive

[Ian Jones]

any more ideas please?

the reason I would like something with swivel seats is when we go down to the coast/out for the day, we can turn it into a mini picnic type thing in the back. the galaxy does look like a good buy, with good mpg from the dirty D. My current citroen c5 is over 200k and that does a lot of short drives

what about something like the SsangYong Rodius, im not after looks here....

[Ian Jones]

thank you zx10r, i will have a look over them

[Ian Jones]

thanks for the info and help all

I have put a deposit down on a hyundai trajet.

It was a good bit below my budget and ticked the boxes that I was looking for.

It is a 2.0 CRTD auto
2003 and has done 63k miles

bodywork wise im not expecting brand new etc for the age and the amount I have to spend. A couple bits here and there could do with a tidy up, but over all it is in very good condition.

thanks
