I am writing on behalf of my aunt and uncle who are looking to buy a used car. They would like something that would be reliable and powerful enough to keep up with modern traffic. They would prefer to spend between £3000 and £5500. The car would only cover around 4000 miles a year, so I advised them to buy a newer car with a higher mileage because even after five years of ownership it would only have an extra 20,000 miles. I was looking at the Volvo S40, BMW 3 Series, Vauxhall Vectra and Honda Accord. I think petrol would be the correct fuel due to the car being used mainly for short journeys. Your thoughts on any cars that you would advise would be greatly appreciated.
