Yeah it’s not too bad at all Whizz.  Busy, sensible security, easy load in and out, decent place to play.

I bought something pretty much identical to this: https://www.japanesempv.co.uk/vehicle/toyota-alphard-30-v6-petrol-4wd-in-uxbridge-london-29523ba4-b30f-4455-a48e-20f63077b9e8

 

It's a 3-litre V6 with permanent 4WD and, as a top-of-the-range MPV in Japan, it arrives fully-loaded.

 

I ripped out the rear pair of seats and chucked them in a skip, reversed the middle bank of three seats, and ended up with the fastest and most comfortable small van in London.

 

that looks like the jobbie for the job, but 9k ? theres not that much money in the whole world at the mo is there ? 🙂

i was thinking something around 2.5k just to satisfy my mingebagness 🙂 there are a few caddys up here for sale for around that, we will see, i dont think you can use these old ones in London now can you ? without getting the charges ?

Blimey! When did you last buy a banger? Or are cars particularly cheap in your neck of the woods?

 

I had to help a mate buy a pre-loved vehicle a few months back. With the whole of NW London to choose from, the best we could come up with was a 10-year-old Zafira for £3k, which needed new tyres, a new battery, and now a new clutch.

Appreciate the input everyone!

 

We're looking at the RCF Evox 12s, the HK Polar 12s, and the Electro Voice EV 30M at the moment, pretty varied prices and the new drummer is insisting 12s won't be enough subwise, but these systems all seem awesome!

Go outside London and the choice widens considerably. You need to check for ULEZ compliance, obvs. When I lived in the Smoke, I always bought vehicles from out of town and preferably those that had spent their lives in rural locations. Cars that have been predominantly driven in cities have a much harder life. A vehicle showing 50k miles that has spent its life sitting in jams with the engine running will have a lot more engine wear than one showing 50k that has been driven mainly at normal speeds on regular roads. The transmission won't have worked as hard out of town, either. And most people change oil/have servicing done at set mileage intervals - every 10k or whatever - which exacerbates the problem. Wear from highway driving is reckoned to only be about 10% as bad as that from urban driving. You should change the engine oil every 5k miles or less on a vehicle that spends its life in slow moving traffic, but very few people do that.
