Hi
I am after either a peugeot 406 or a mondeo but it has to be Diesel and Automatic about 3 or 4 years old V,W or X reg
I cannot seem to find any anywhere ! do they make em ?
I have never noticed before just assumed they did make em , until now that I want to find one.
Im going to Blackbuse tomorrow and they have none
Any ideas or info about diesel automatics and any reason for them being extremely scarce or even non existant
Thanks

As far as I am aware, there is no such beast as an auto diesel 406 or mondeo of that age,
Why? traditionaly manufacturers only put auto boxes with BIG diesel engines. If you want auto diesel of that age it will have to be big and german.
Things are changing, with the new high output lively smaller diesels, but not 3 or 4 years ago.

In 2002 Peugeot introduced 406 GLX HDI Auto which was about the first 406 with automatic transmission. Same year Ford made first auto TDCI's. Older than that... many Xantias were sold as auto?

I think Vauxhall do a diesel auto Mk4 Astra.

I have a VW PASSAT 1.9 PD TDI Tiptronic (AUTO) W reg.
Superb motor, probably in your price range and size of car!

You can also get a Skoda Octavia Diesel Auto.

The equivalent Citroen C5 diesel autos are quite common (and cheap - even brand new, with discounts). The 2.2 litre engine is a better bet than the 2.0 litre one. We have a C5 with the 2.2 litre engine and it is smooth and quiet. My only complaint is that the gearbox is only 4 speed.
Don't expect the kind of mpg quoted by Citroen though, as this is a heavy car, but we are getting a combined return of around 35mpg, which includes a fair bit of urban driving.
