Change of car

Ford Edge. None of the French rubbish with black plastic coated all over the doors and arches but well within a reasonable price for an SUV.

Personally, I would go for the Ranger Black Edition. So much vehicle for only £26k.

French rubbish? Think you need to start looking at what France is coming out with these days, some very highly rated cars (e.g. 3008) that will be a lot more wallet friendly that the Ranger. Currently having an expensive to run 4*4 I'd certainly entertain some of that rubbish.

You're only allowed to drive a pick up truck these days if you're a stedhead builder

I've owned french rubbish in the past.

I've seen the crappy french 'suv' crossovers like the kadjar and that hideous Citroen with the bumpy black plastic stuck on the doors. I'll give you the 3008, that is not a bad looking car, but it still has the shoddy build quality and reliability of a peugeot.

I've had a Citroen (recently-ish) and a Renault in the past - can honestly say they were no worse than the fords or Vauxhall's I've owned - although to be fair both were near new so maybe problems hadn't surfaced. Or maybe I was just lucky but given the partnerships between manufacturers these days half of what you getting with the badge is where they are assembled rather than the parts themselves.

Think that Ranger needs bigger Alloys (yes, I know it won't go as well off road but who buys them for that anyway?)

That said, French cars are bentleys compared to Fiats.

Mate, we've seen your car. You can't be calling anything hideous.

What's wrong with it? It's unique and looks great.

In my opinion the Peugeot 3008 is the best SUV out there.
But sadly it is out of my price range

It's literally got

They are door handles. Most, if not all cars have them.

What about the mess on the bonnet?

Sack that, what about the bonnet?

No. Just what about the car in general. It looks like a car a 5 year old would draw.

I really like it. Very unique. I could put a few of my own touches on it.

Would you be looking to sell?

[Blackrod]

If you want off road capability many SUVs are poor unless they really are 4 wheel drive.
If you don't other than having mobility problems or small children I can't really see why anyone would want one.

Ford Edge. None of the French rubbish with black plastic coated all over the doors....

Nah, they just made the whole thing out of plastic instead!

[Hendrickxz]

I still can't get my brain round the fact that some French cars are fitted with bed headboards right down the side. What the hell's all that about.

[Marney&Mee]

I still have Claretandjew's old car in my lock up. Any offers ?

Depends on the sort of motoring you're doing, the Ranger can be a bit of an arse to park in town centres, though there is the very obvious tax liability advantages if it's your company vehicle.
Edge is a great shout, buy a 9 month Vignale with under 10k and save yourself a ton of depreciation, they're a mega thing to own and drive though, factory engine upgrade and auto are a must though.

If you're purchasing a car using PCP finance, it's definitely worth doing your research on the monthly payments.
If you're buying a nearly new car you'll of course pay a lot less for the car, but with brand new cars, interest rates tend to be much lower (e.g. 3% instead of 8%) and dealerships often offer massive deposit contributions as well.

Choose your car and your spec and dealers will send you offers.

Would you be looking to sell?

Yes sir. I spent £1k on modifying it, but would be willing to sell the car with the mods for £100 (£20 without the mods).
