Replacement for an old Jeep Cherokee?
I need to replace my Jeep Cherokee 2.5td - we use as a second car mainly for our small holding.
We want a vehicle with very good fuel economy, which can pull a medium sized trailer a couple of times a month and also be in a low VED class.
I normally buy old bangers and run them into the ground as I am a competant mechanic (hence the Jeep with it's horrid VM engine - £400 and still running 18 months later!). It does 8000 miles per year.
Should I stick with my recycling old sheds or buy a new/newish economical car?
We can manage without 4WD - although it was great in the snow.

Stick with the sheds.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

What car is best for me? I like a high driving position, boot space for camping, good fuel economy, ideally some bodywork protection/trims, good all-round driving visibility, cheap to insure/tax.
Retirement, along with other changes to my family and lifestyle, mean that I no longer need the carrying capacity - and neither do I cover the mileage - to justify my Vauxhall Zafira diesel. Time to downsize!

I’m in the market for a used car. I want something small, with five-doors and low/zero VED. What would you recommend for £5000?
