Hi Shane, Having purchased used cars for twenty odd years, I now plan to buy my first new car. Total budget is €50k including my trade-in valued at €9k. My shortlist includes BMW 3 Series estate, Mercedes C-Class estate, Volvo V60, Audi Q5 (demo), and Skoda Kodiaq. The priorities are reliability, resale value, and crucially what fuel type to go for. I know that either petrol or petrol-based plug-in hybrid, would best suit my needs, as I do short trips and relatively low mileage. However I'd prefer to go with the fuel type with the best resale value after 3 or 5 years, so I dont mind buying diesel and giving it a good run once every couple of weeks if necessary. That being said, I'm aware that pure diesel and petrol sales are declining, so it's unclear if either are a good bet at this price point any more. I would consider ex-demo. Given the reliability issues I've experienced in the past, it would have to have to have very low mileage. Your advice would be much appreciated. Best Regards John
