Family SUV for €13k?
Looking at buying a family SUV - no trade in - looking at up to 13k - no earlier than 2013 and preferably under 100,000k on clock. I was wondering what you would recommend or think represents good value. I was also wondering if I were to extend my budget to 15-16k would you recommend any other alternative vehicles. Many thanks Stephen
Our answer:
Hi Stephen,
With those parameters, you’ll have plenty of choice, but you didn’t say how big your family was – if you only need five seats, a good used Dacia Duster is well worth considering. Also look at the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai ix35 and Peugeot 3008. You may also find the odd MINI Countryman or the brilliant Skoda Yeti. Regrettably, trying to find a seven-seat SUV is going to be hard for this budget, so why not consider a Volkswagen Touran MPV instead, which should be available?
