Chaps, can you help me help my mate find a bloody car coz its doing my balls in coz everything i say is a no or not in their price range

I suggested the following coz he wanted something that dont cost the earth to insure and with out astronomical mileage

Newershape A6 audi diesel
X5 D/LPG
300C d/LPG
ST TDCI (with nav)
Ful spec'd Saab 9-3
730D
530 D sport/m sport

Are the above out of the 5k reach?

You can see the type of cars im suggesting, something to waft in that could do good on the motorway and a bit of a premium badge

Can you suggest other similar cars?
Thanks all

So you've listed some cars he hates. Great.

Are there any cars he likes?

Pretty much this. He needs to figure out exactly what he wants from his next car and choose accordingly, you won't be driving it so everything you suggest will be wrong.

I expect his OH will have a large say in the decision anyway if he can't choose a car on his own.

If he likes Reliants, why are you trying to put him in a 7 Series?

Let him get his own car, he hasn't asked for your opinion, he certainly hasn't asked for ours.

Scimtar then? £5k will get a very nice one...or, more reasonably, spend £3k on a scimitar and then £2k on something prosaic and modern (Golf, Mondeo, whatever) for the boring stuff.
