6 Month Reliable Shed

[PistonTim]

I've ordered a new car through salary sacrifice with work but it might not arrive until the end of the year, in the meantime my BMW X1 E84 is starting to get leggy and whilst it still has some value in it I'd like to avoid any more crippling bills and move it on.

So I've been thinking whilst its still got six months MOT to sell and swap it for something I can tool about in that wont cost a fortune or lose massive value, I'm doing about 20k per year at the moment for context and dont really want massive issues with running costs.

Needs to be big enough for family holidays and mountain bike in the back, ideally automatic and comfortable, possibly:

BMW E91 320D
Audi A4 avant
Mazda 6 Estate
Some sort of VAG people carrier?
Older S-Max?

Wouldn't be looking to spend more than about £1,500 ideally but to recoup as much money as possible at the end!

Not a bad shout!

Thanks all, I just dont really want to sink money into service and MOT on the X1 just before it gets replaced, some good options here!

I can go higher on budget so long as I get my money back if that makes sense, so £5k to buy, do a few thousand miles without hassle and sell for the same would be ideal but I guess you'd have to buy very very carefully to get a good one!
