Family Car Buying Advice - Budget £10k

[smellvetica]

Hi,

I’m after a ULEZ compliant family motor, I live in London and do a lot of short and medium trips.

Budget is about £10k, hoping to part ex on a low miles ‘14 Seat Leon estate to make up half the budget.

Was looking at an S-Max and Sharan but they’re pretty dull.

Any recommendations are very welcome.

Thanks

Do Kia niro fit in your budget

How many kids? Dog? Bikes? Do you need the space of an S-Max?

Have you had the Leon valued.? Sometimes the figures someone thinks will add up don't.? What you're saying is you want to put £5K + your car for your next purchase and that might not be £10K.

The S Max is actually a decent steer:

If you don't need an estate then the new Insignia in SRI VX Line Nav 160 spec would be a very good pick:

If you don't need the 7 seats but want more space then the Mazda6 Estate in Sport Nav spec is a good choice:

Sure, should be around that. Low miles.
Grand difference is fine.

That’s a lot of cash for a 10/11 plate

I agree but that's where TXS S Max's are in terms of price as I said the Insignia's are the pick for what you seem to be looking for.
