New car for 'R Lass'

[madgaz]

Well we managed to sell the '*BLEEP*'ara and didn't actually lose anything on it

However, we now need a replacement :
She's after something pretty economical (25mpg or above ) and a bit of space to fit hay/straw in etc when needed and also chuck the 3 dogs in.
I've suggested an Impreza Sport Wagon but I think this would be pretty much ideal looking at the prices etc.

There are ups and downs of course.
Downs,
It's an Impreza
Ups,
Economical(ish)
Good size but not too big
Japanese
Will fit camping gear in for JAE etc
Japanese (as above) BUT will be eligable for a place on the stand (far far far away from the front haha)
Better than attending meets in a fookin BMW (Is it better?)

[madgaz]

Oh yeah,
It'll be lucky if it covers 5000 miles a year and must be under £1500 haha.

Legacy instead of impreza?
Legnum?

€2500
Its advertised in the local free ads. I 'll get some more info.
Maybe get the seller to drop in.
I do believe its sitting on 17inch compomotives.

She's a woman so I was thinking that they may be a little too big for her
The Impreza Wagon seems to be a smaller estate and therefore more 'Lady Friendly'

[madgaz]

Shoot Me
Not only do I drive a BMW as a 'day car' but we also have an Impreza Wagon now
And to top it all of it is a Sport with a Turbo bonnet .
Fortunately we have also the original bonnet
N Reg, 125k, good condition, also managed to get a spare leather interior AND some extra 16" Speedlines in good nick. Taxed for 5 months and tested for 9 all for £840
Seems pretty cheap to me and all seems to be OK so far on the 60 mile run from Nottingham to home toaday
