I have settled on getting a CR-V and found this one in the link above. Was just wondering if this was a good price and worth going for

Many thanks

I certainly wouldn’t sink £8k that I couldn’t afford to lose into a car with over 100,000 miles. It might last for years and be trouble free or it might expire in a cloud of smoke tomorrow. Any warranty will be limited on such a car as you can’t really guarantee it and if anything major fails it could see the car written-off.

Either find more money and buy a good approved used example for £12/£13k or downscale your ambitions and buy the petrol engined hatchback, saloon or estate your budget realistically affords you.

In England there are some 40 odd CRV's with less than 60K miles

I would pay the extra and buy the same car with a petrol engine and get the TC auto - tough combination. The petrol autos are poor mpg but are known to run for years with minimal trouble.

My petrol EX auto goes in next week for MoT & service - only bills in 9 years - exhaust, battery, bushes, front pothole spring - £600 ish
