Which diesel estate..... - Phidman
The short list is:

- Volvo V70 D5 (or earlier 2.5 diesel)
- Mondeo Zetec-S 2.0 TDCi (130) Estate
- VW Passat TDi (130) sport Estate
- Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD Vector Estate
- Audi A6 1.9 Tdi (115/130)

I am looking second-hand but low mileage. Clearly the Volvo and Audi (and to a lesser extent the Saab) are higher priced - but both have higher residuals - better long term investment??

Any comments/advice?

Thanks

Depends how much you want to spend. I was looking at the Volvo adverts in the Motoring section of the Telegraph a couple of weeks ago and late registered low mileage V70 D5 SEs seemed to be a bargain from certain Volvo dealers.

Cheers

Most people here seem to say that lower mileage is not the most important thing to be looking at, particularly if it's a diesel you're after.

What are the most important things to consider, am in a similar frame of mind but slightly different list.
