Legacy diesel turbo

[keith dublin]

Was thinking about a legacy turbo diesel for the wife has to be the estate because we need the space for kids bikes and stuff looking at 2008 up to 10
Anyone got anything or know of anything
Cheers
Keith

Was thinking about 520 touring but with the bad winters think I'd be better off with 4wd

Thanks again
Keith

feck all for sale at the minute, i would go with 2nd gen boxer diesel though, seems to be more reliable, matches yours too

you can easily lower the outback putting on legacy suspension :0

the two best estate cars on the road are either the mondeo 2.0 tdci or the vw Passat tdi actually I would also say the skoda octavia massive boots in all and very reliable once bought with low mileage .the only advice I can really stress is to buy the lowest mileage and best history car you can get for your budget all diesel cars suffer huge repair bills at about 100,000 miles

 

[davelegacy]

Octavia VRS or Mondeo be my choice for a family diesel.

 

[scoobysub]

go petrol keith theres a 07 on donedeal for 6k your not doing mad milage so its a win win

this what a top spec mondeo estate looks like

vrs tdi estate

 

[STiBrian]

I know 3 owners of Octavias - a vrs diesel, a 110bhp diesel & a 140bhp diesel. Every one of them has had countless problems. Talk to Ciaran about Nialls vrs - it has broken his heart!

My favourite looking estate, we have the facelift saloon, mega leg room in the back,it's averaging 5.4 l/100km

 

[keith dublin]

Nice what is it Opel insignia ?

 

[scoobycolm]

Toyota avensis

 

[JAMIE-TYPERV6]

Stay well clear of diesels Keith. I've two ex-diesel mechanic mates that wouldn't touch em unless new with a barge pole!

 

[Ciaran WRX]

Keith have you seen the new Mazda 6 very nice indeed?
This one very nice but all of em back through the years are stylish and reliable interior of last few gen a bit cheap looking though.

Stick with honda mazda toyota my shout

 

[wagon dec]

The Toyota avensis is scrap they give unreal trouble best built cars in the world me whole
