What car sub 5k 30+ mpg

[Trustmeimadoctor]

I need a car to do my daily 70 mile A road commute in and also general dutys to go along with the wife's mk7 golf.

I don't want to spend more than 5k but would love to spend less and ideally I'd like 30+ mpg more the better and don't want to be servicing it every 6 months.

I've been looking at w211 wagons with the 320 cdi but seemingly you should only buy 56 plate or newer and that's stretching the money or 200k miles+. I'd like comfy bit of poke and something that isn't full of Bork

I like most makes bar Vauxhall I can't stand orange digital displays (stupid I know)

Interesting they are all looking good! Do I need to look out for vaelo radiators on those?

Why that order?

Just because of what I read on the adverts plus the spec.

Cool hopefully off to see the black one today

There is a nice looking e90 2.5i in saphire with lemon leather with xenons, nav,tv. And sunroof for same price at same place

Just been to see that black 320 it's not right or well doesn't feel it 70k and the carpeted worn all the way through not under mat but on the edge of foot well wheels bady corroded disks have a huge lip on them and the wheel was smooth too feels more like my 140k polo tbh the polo felt better

Cheers for your help off to see a w203 07 plate c320 cdi sport today as it's really close so might aswell

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Must admit I'm confused as to specs is it a sport or a sport pack and what it actually entails !

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Been to see it much nicer than that e320 it's a genuine sports edition with the big brakes etc

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Well I bought it and i collect it tomorrow

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Less than budget 4750 and it's done 97k with full mb history so all in all not bad I don't think. The las I bought it off paid 6500 10 months ago.
Its standard spec I think bar the nav
Now time to look for a remap

Will get better pics once I've got it home and chucked a bucket of water over it

Who's good for remap?

I am a BMW fan more than merc but hey life would be boring if we went for the same car all the time my boss's dad has had 5 octavia's in a row! I mean nice car but why the hell


Car seems rust free as far as I can tell but I'm no expert!
