Brewman 1,190 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Avoid french cars unless you want to throw money away. If you look after either of the other two you should get a few hundred thousand miles from them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I wouldn't touch a connect. I know its not on your list but at that sort of age a Vauxhall Combo is always a good bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
