i am looking for another expedition car.have 3x long euro trips in the next 6 months and need something cheap but practical at a walk away price level if it dies. ideally ULEZ. must seat 3 adults + gear, so maybe an estate. autobahn friendly. mpg etc. im back scouring the mondeos atm but any other tips appreciated.
initially wanted something with 4x4 but these look to attract much higher prices

I’ve had a really good experience with a homda accord executive estate
Eats miles, bullet proof mechanics huge inside small outside
Look at the mileage on that

Volvo v50 for under £2k. FSH. Bad bits - in High Wycombe.
Mazda 6 Estate. High mileage good nick. Room for negotiation. 6 months MOT.
Audi A4 Avant with almost 200k. Very tidy. Heads will turn.
Agreed, lots of decent priced Accords out there. You could get a sweet EX model of the post 2008 variant. Would a saloon version be ok? Belgrade in style.
Petrol presumably cos of ULEZ? not-bono-ever

Not bangers, new and expensive, but everyone I know who is keen on cars is jibbering on about the Dacia jogger being a game changer
Not convinced mind

Uber rare 2006 Corolla saloon like the yanks drive. a mere 148000 miles. Cracking price. This car will be worth money in future and would do a eurotrip for breakfast. not-bono-ever
Also incredibly well made plus repairable and everywhere you go they will be able to get parts and fix it.
I already have a hatchback 2004 version but im sorely tempted

meh. most of the estates im looking at are DERV. so ULEZ is a blocker on these. You forget that DERV was big in the early 2000's, but are getting increasing difficult to use anywhere bcause emissions. Might have to go for a medium saloon with a big arse on it.
Saab ? I know nothing about these except they share stuff with GM IIRC. thats maybe not so good.
Mondeo again. could do worse.
Accord - I know these are good.

Feeding the foxes
Current Volvo banger, still looking good after 125k miles. Wonderfully quiet, smooth with plenty of punch from the 5 cylinder engine, plus the roof goes down. Only downside is the quite shocking 25mpg average, quite a culture shock after the 53 mpg from the S40 diesel we had up to September.
You'll enjoy the comfort.View attachment 268185
Since buying the Amazon last Summer, I haven't driven this, so if you'd like a bit of wind in yer hair motoring for a grand or so, let me know.

Funeral Car would be brilliant. Never raced, well cared for, regularly serviced

Saabs are meant to be great. But theyve gone bust and parts arent so plentiful. You could get stranded in central or southern europe. that wouldnt happen with a volvo ford bmw audi Toyota...
That 2011 Accord for 2900ish is still going spare. Petrol but not too inefficient. ULEZ for sure. You could do worse.
I would stay clear of an ageing diesel estate tbh. Yes youll spend more on petrol but theyre a lot easier and cheaper to fix medium term. Also better resale value currently.
