Hey,
I have a Y Reg Ford Focus at present, good car however it is getting close to the end I think and I want to get a new one.
Only have up to £4k budget and like the look of the older style BMW 3 series, with 4 doors.
My requirements are:
- 4 doors
- Petrol I think is best but open to suggestions
- Would prefer leather interior
- I like the idea of cruise control if possible
- I notice most cars seem to have cassette tape - not CD - is that standard for the older ones?
- reliability is important
- no more than 70'000 miles ideally
- Looking mainly at 318 but open to other suggestions as I'm starting to look and don't know much
Are the 318's reliable cars? I know there is a bit of a gamble with older ones but just generally speaking I mean.
Any other advice when looking?
Thanks,
