I wish to buy used saloon/hatchback. I have a budget of about £15,000 and I want a car of no more than three years old, max 20,000 miles, petrol, good spec, decent mpg, looks smart for a retired but still part-time property consultant living in the Isle Of Man and doing max 9000 miles per year, with occasional trips to the UK, Ireland and France.

I like Mazdas, Hondas and Fords. It would be convenient to have a dealer within reasonable distance of Liverpool and Heysham ports.
