I have a €5,000 budget and want 200hp!
Hi Myself and the other half currently share a new Octavia. I am now looking for a car for myself due to work location changes. 5k budget, Saloon or Coupe as we have a 4 year old, Auto preferred (M50 traffic) but not essential, 200 Horsepower + and petrol or diesel Any ideas? Thank Mick
Our answer:
Hi Mick,
How about a Jaguar S-Type 2.7 V6 diesel? We found one for €5,700, so with a bit of haggling you might get the price down.
A more sensible option might be the Lexus IS 220d we found for €5,400 - cheaper to run and more reliable than the Jag.
