Old estate or new? - Mazdaman
Well I need an estate car (large) and i have a couple of options.

I've got abot 5,000 to spend. What I would like is a Toyota Camry p reg or so 3.0 liter all options. BUT I can't find any at that price. I found a N reg for 5,500 seems alot for a car thats 7 years old.

Now what I have found is a Daewood Nubira estate 2.0 liter all the mod cons and a price of 5,000 on a 2001 plate (51).

What I'm thinking here is should i get the newish daewoo or not.

I'm a little hessitant thinking that it might not be that great a car. Has anyone got one or had the pleasure of driving one and telling me what their like?

Thanks

3 litres IS a big car nowadays. You'll get hit with high fuel costs not to mention top rate road tax.

Of the 2 you mention, I'd go for the Nubira but personally would go for a Rover 4 series or similar. £5500 sound expensive for a P reg 3 litre car to me. I only got £7000 for an R (98) MR2 in excellent nick!
