Second hand LPG cars - worth buying? - local yokel
In my quest to keep down the cost of motoring I'm interested to know if a S/H LPG conversion is a sensible choice. We have an LPG retailer 5 miles away, on a route we use. We do mixed motoring, but not often more than 35 miles at a time (hence my user name), as we also live close to a good train service. Assume 12,000/yr, and a purchase price of £2,500.

Your thoughts, please!

I would not have any concern if you got a factory fitted LPG car i.e: Vauxhall / Volvo. They offered LPG as an optional fuel choice and I suspect you will pick one up for less than a petrol especially in the sticks although they are likely to be relatively rare. My only concern (and admittedly completely unfounded) would be for how long you will have the local availability of the LPG.

If you are confident it will be for as long as you have the car, why not?

Good luck!
