Best used SUV £25k - £30k

[egoold]

Looking for some help and advice on used diesel suv . Have a budget of around £25-£30k and will be doing 25,000 miles a year. So thinking was buying something used one up to 5 years old with under 30,000 miles on it and keeping it for 2 years

Just wondering which of the ones I am thinking of would be the Best Buy and make the most financial sense (mpg, running costs, depreciation)

Top 3 are

Porsche Cayenne
Jaguar F - pace
Alfa stelvio

Just started looking this weekend.

Alfa - interior felt really cheap. Not a nice place inside. Shame as wanted to like it.

Jaguar and Porsche seemed nicer. Also impressed with the XC60/90 too when looking. Might be worth adding to the list.

Also just over £30k potentially a new shape RR from a main dealer, which will have a 2 year warranty. Which from what you'll read on forums you'll need!

I was in a similar situation recently (slightly higher budget). I plumped for a BMW X5 40d and am quite pleased with it.

I have a V90 at the moment and it’s great 🤔 might be worth considering the XC90 , I suppose X5 should have also been on the original list

Mercedes GLE.

They don't seem to take so much of a hit for high milers.

I'm guessing the servicing costs and depreciation on the Cayenne will be much higher.

Is an XC40 in budget?

Sorry should have said it needs to be big enough to fit 2 large golden retrievers !

Trade the GRs in for two chihuahuas and get a Macan S.

Check out a G Wagen in budget?

You can pick up a current gen Q7 for £30k. Looking at the values of previous generation Q7's, you shouldn't lose too much over 2 years.

5 Series, E Class, Mondeo or Superb Estate or a 6 seater Transit.

Discovery 4 would be pretty ideal with its huge cargo area with rearmost seats down plus the split tailgate is handy for sitting on whilst drying them etc.

Many thanks for other suggestions but had looked at all of them before running them out for various reasons

I want to like the Alfa but had a feeling the interior would be a let down , if I was to concentrate of these 3 then all of them would be about £30k to buy with 30,000 miles on them

2016 BMW X5 30d Msport https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

Which would be the best bet for running for 2 years and adding 50-55k miles on ?

Reliability & servicing / depreciation / mpg

Thanks

You'll be very lucky to get a good Cayenne that fits your criteria for your budget if you want one then you'll either have to stretch the budget or go for the Touareg R Line Plus as they're essentially the same car underneath.

With this size & weight of vehicle I'd always be looking at a 3.0d so for me that means the F Pace is off the list, ll be less stressed & suits this type of car better, so that leaves you with the X5 which is no bad place to be spending the next two years in, I'd go for a 7 seat one as that'll help come resale time.

Volvo XC60? Boot should be big enough, I'd think.

£25K should get top spec 67-plate older model,

New models are dipping under £30K

To keep it fair comparison I changed the f-pace to the 3.0 v6 diesel didn’t even realise they did a 3.0 diesel thought it was only a 3.0 petrol 9n the F-pace

What are the current generation of large people carriers like? Lower running costs, presumably.

Not really wanting a people carrier. Have had about 10 estate cars in a row and fancy a change.

The F Pace is nice but you're going to be nearer to 35k for nice one:

& I'd still take the 7 Seater X40d's for that money, or I'd get a Cayenne.
