Looking for something second had from a dealership so doubt you could help.
My Golf has 130k miles on it and is starting to give me shit but it seems I can save money and pic up a Cee'd that's got 20k on is 3 years newer has no tax and a better mpg. I'm feeling like there must be a catch somewhere.
I thought that to be honest when I got one. It was much cheaper than the other cars in the range for a higher spec, but it was really solid and decent.
Had no issues with it in the 3 years that I had it apart from tyres / brake pads / disks etc.
Plus they dont look like square boxes now!
I did it for the same reason, I had a car that was drinking fuel and causing issues and went to a nice 1.4 diesel with £20 tax a year, hardly any insurance and it just worked. After a couple of years I got a bit bored and spontaneously went back to a fuel guzzler but do regret it a bit!
