Hi all, hoping to get some advice on a purchase i'm *hopefully* about to make.
It's time for a new car, and i've been looking for something economical, low(ish) on tax and insurance, reliable as well as having a bit of 'oomph' when i want, all for less than £5k...
I've managed to find 2 potential cars and was hoping i could get some advice as i know very little about cars..
** First contender is a VW Golf TDI GT - 2007, 54k miles. Excellent condition at £5k - being sold by a mate who i know has looked after it.
** The other is a Honda Civic Type-S GT 2.2 Diesel - 82k miles, again, excellent condition @ £4700 - though it's a private sale.
Can anyone offer any advice between the two? I don't do too many miles per year (around 8k) so wasn't really looking at a diesel, but they're both very good deals so looking to hopefully go with one of them.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
