Like many considering cashing in on the current used valuations

70 plate 530d xdrive msport touring 7k miles - can settle the finance and walk away with 4.5k .

Originally bought as partner made redundant and went down to the one car so needed something for 2 dogs comfortable - greyhound and Labrador .

10 months on obviously the value is the principal factor , but now have a 25 mile commute 22mile on motorway each way 5 days a week and partner now has a qashqaui for main dog duties .

Will need something for occasional dog duties in the boot albeit fairly short distance if she’s away etc but open to hybrid or electric .

Previously had hot hatched civic type r , scirocco r , golf r and m140 prior to the 5 series .

Prefer pcp as can change if and when needed than a fixed lease

Appreciate advise / thoughts on next potential car .

Hmmm...
Hot hatch - Civic Type R, Hyundai i30n, Megane, Focus ST, BMW 128ti
Hot estate - Focus ST, Golf R
SUV-ish - Mini Countryman JCW
Bigger options - Audi S5 5-dr
