Ford Galaxy

Was wondering why no-one had mentioned these?

2nd row seats are fine, not sure about the rearmost ones?
Having sat in 3rd class in a "Grand" Voyager I wouldn't recommend it for more than a few miles, plus there would be no boot space.

Fiat Multipla? The frog shaped one, don't come much more different than that.

I have no ideas about reliability etc, I only mention it as one of the local taxi drivers had one a few years back and loved it.

How about a Renault Vel satis, (not sure what reliability is like on these..) different though.

Or on the same mad note, How about an Avantime, different, comfy. Not sure if one can be had for a good price or about the luggage space though.

I was picked up in one of these once too, very comfy in the back

Was your suggestion an MX5?

I did think about it, but hope to get more than £4.5k for mine

Haha not quite! Seat Alhambra (beigemobile) I'd certainly choose an MX5 over a Toyota Avensis in a taxi rank though..


And someone mentioned a Lexus.
No harm in suggesting this

Saab 9-5 Estate will do the motorway work in comfort, loads of luggage space in our one, ample leg room in the back. Plenty of diesels about in that price bracket too. Clearly doesn't meet the 7 seats criteria though, but loads of them come in silver

Having just checked your profile - I've used your taxis a few times to get out to Parkway when I lived in the South West, usually from (or back to) the industrial estate in Tiverton. Grew up near there too (not actually in Tiverton, of course...!), so, hello as well!

A little over budget but you may well find a few hovering around the top of your budget


Mitsubishi Grandis

I don't think you could stretch to a Dame Edna 9-5 for that money, but you'd certainly get one of the older 2.2 TiD's. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2363882.htm. Very comfy, safe and spacious cars - estate has excellent load area.

There's a Dame Edna saloon in Luton (can't find the link for a moment) but am highly suspicious because it's 06, 80k for £3999 when everything else is £6.5k or thereabouts.

Kia sedona, big, cheap to buy, plenty of seats and comes in diesel format.

[Zip106]

Slightly over budget...

Ford Galaxy or VW Sharan, they're everywhere in London.

Facelift W124? Classy.

Renault Grand Espace? In budget, diesel, 7 seats, right colour - ok, so it's not a looker, but theyre very spacious and a nice place to travel as a taxi passenger.

That's a huge amount of car for the money.
