Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I must be a very sensible person.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
The couple next door have recently purchased a BMW 1 series car, so they must have thought we were very wise.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, certainly.
What are you likely to buy next?
It will most likely be a BMW but as I like to keep my cars for about 10 years, it will depend on what they are offering in the future.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£22,000
When did you buy the car?
March 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
I was undesided whether to go for the 118d or the 120d and contacted the caravan club to see what they thought, and due to this delay, my nearest 2 dealers kept improving their offers.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Worked out that it was the cheapest car capable of towing my caravan, taking into account fuel, road tax, depreciation, servicing, etc. Based on approx 120,000 miles use over 10 years.
What was the dealer like?
Very good.
