Family Car 6 seats - Andy Watts
Can anyone recommend an in-expensive family car. Must have 6+ seats and be cheap & reliable to run . Max budget is 4000 pound.

Thanks
Andy

Peugeot 505 estate if you can find one ! Ive seen a J registered one in a garage in Mansfield for £ 1000. these are good workhorses
or a Renault 21 estate - called Savanna they both have 3 rows of forward facing seats and in all cases with a decent socket set you should be able to do most jobs yourself.

don't but a VW caravelle unless you have shares in Esso ! 18 mpg at best otherwise try a diesel Landrover or daihatsu 4trak.

thanks for the info.
I've been doing some further looking around. We've discounted the 7 seat estate option from a safety and practical viewpoint.

Currently the options are:
1. Toyota Town Ace (Space Cruiser etc) - around a G/H reg
2. Nissan Serena - around K/L/M reg.

Both of these can be UK sourced or imported. Does anyone have some advice on the comparisions here.

and finally...
3. Landrover 110 diesel - around E Reg.

any comments?

HJ advised us not to go for a grey imported Town Ace but without any details given.
