Hi Guys and Gals ,
My first post on here.
For years weve had a seven seater MPV plus another " normal " car. My wife who was going through her mid life crisis 40's decided that she'd had enough of the " practical car " and asked for a new Mini Cooper S convertible. I had the sensible car and ordered a Range Rover 4.2 Supercharged based on reviews ,before they actually came out.Mistake,Im fed up of 14 mpg and the car isnt worth this hassle and expense.Anyway ,she keeps nicking my RR to put our three German Shepherds in and leaves it in remote places whilst walking.Our Voyager was done(windows smashed) in a situtaion like this and I dont want to risk the RR .Anyway, a '96 ( new face lift) E230 or E240 Estate seems to be in our price bracket of £3k .The 7 seater seems ideal as it gives us back the option when we turn into kids taxis. So gents and ladies ,can I have your views on these vehicles please? Im told they average 22 mpg which aint great,but much better than my RR .I viewed a P reg today which was ok, 155k on the engine but slight rust.I know its only £3K but I dont want to have expensive bills to come.I chose MB as I thought they are quality and at this age are reliable to 200k miles.
thanks
Pete
