Thank you. Crikey I thought the Q7 was a big enough hearse

MkIV by now. Surely.
I had a 1988 forerunner. An Audi 90 Quattro with the five cylinder petrol engine. None of the family liked it. It was sluggish, harsh suspension, nasty gearbox [even compared to a five cylinder VW Santana we had previously], tramlined like hell and wasn't that reliable either. Daughter was invariably sick within 30 miles of home due to sitting low in her child seat with high window sills.
Changed it for an Isuzu Trooper 5 door Citation which is now scrap at the bottom of the yard. Now THAT was a nice car in its time. Everyone liked it.

And still more reliable than a Defender....

And sorry but 35K for a VW pick up are you having a laugh?

It isn't that much better than a Narava which is 15K less, has real suspension in the arse now, can be equipped with a rear LSD and has a much more upmarket and car like cabin.

What's the annual mileage allowance on that?

6000 I think. Just googled around. National or similar sort of name. 6000 would be fine for me but you can put it up for not much more. I think about £10 per 1000 or something.

Haven't read all of this thread but took the 93 Hilux to Mole Valley this morning and it got very hot. Stopped on the way back and scrounged some water. Waited for it to cool down and the rad was full of oil. Oh dear. Anyway, got me home but this is looking expensive. So I'm looking to run it through the block and get something new. L200 Warrior for £210 a month ex VAT. Seems a very good deal. Navara looks like a pig on stilts. I don't need to tow much, just get around in any weather and keep the kids safe, plus pick up feed etc.

Isuzu yukon deal at the moment for £195/ month . 10000 Mile allowance

The difference is one gives an honest figure the other is a lie to bypass legislation and fool customers into thinking they are buying something they are not..

£6800 for 2 years use? ?

6000 miles would be two months

 

[Cowabunga]

Assuming the above to be a question, first port of call was its grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Mostly the math though.

That kind of advertising should be banned for missleading.
Sure, if you read it carefully the info is there. But like the £99 korean car, its not real
The deposit is £2802
payments are £5616.
total £8418.
close to £7000 + vat /£291 a month..

Been looking at cost of a small electric car.
the headline price is £142.
actual cost for 8000 per year = £400 a month
