£5k.... inspiration.. - 27/06/2020 20:06
Hi everyone
I'm after a new car with an odd list of requirements and thought where is the best place to come and ask for inspiration and advice on cars, here obvs!
Over the last few years, my car choices have been all over the place, currently leasing a Seat Leon Cupra, before that had another Leon, before that some Megane RS sports, lots of hot hatches mainly.
My current lease is about to come up and I was looking at larger engines cars with power, and had tested both a Kia Stinger GTS or Audi S5 sportback, which I was thinking about, but then Covid struck.
Due to Covid, my requirements have now massively changed, and I will now be working from home with the odd drive into the office maybe once a fortnight and the odd journey to the kids school and shops, but otherwise I will have no real need for a car at all, I expect my mileage to be circa 2k a year, if that!
So am thinking with a slightly sensible head on the budget but not with the car, I'm thinking max of £5k, but other than that: go old, go niche, go weird, go top less, go classic, etc
My only real requirements are:
- must have 4 seats and back seats for a 6 and 8 yr old
- must be reliable (well as reliable as £5k gets you)
- must look good
- fast is nice, but not a must
- I am veering to a convertible, maybe!
So any inspiration, I can change anytime from now until October.
Thanks y'all
