Buying a used car - Toyota or Ford?
Want to buy a trustworthy car for city and weekend travelling. I have never had a diesel, so my preference is on petrol.
I have found two cars, but am a bit worried that the mileage is a bit high for them:
-2010 Ford C-Max 1.8 petrol with 72,000 miles for £6000
-2009 Toyota verso 1.8 Vmatic with 78,000 miles for £7000
Which car would you buy?

Go for the Toyota Verso 1.8 Valvematic. This is an excellent engine.
