This time we are looking for a car that all markets must be home!
We received an extensive message from Jennifer and Noud. This happy couple has for many years driven in an over-supplied Peugeot 307 SW Pack with the thickest petrol engine. The car has more than 3 tonnes, and is due for replacement. In addition to a change in car, there is also a change of employer.
The annual mileage is going up a lot: 20,000 km per year to 45,000. It must be a diesel. The car should not ondergemotoriseerd are due to a large tandemasser of 1,200 kg, providing a power of at least 110-130hp is desired. Also should the car not too much walking (maximum 2 tonnes).
Before we get into the options, go through the table of the tables:

It is a bit of an issue between C or D segment. D-segmenters like a little harder to write off, which gives you more value for your money. In addition, the D-segmenters often have a somewhat heavier engine. Another tip: the sedan. Station wagons are much more popular and that you can see in the price. So go looking a bit bleary-eyed sedan. I would also get the premium brands BMW, Mercedes and Audi skip. For 5000 euros is not much, the following choices offer a lot more value for the money:
Toyota Avensis 2.0 D4-D Linea Luna:
One of the finer cars in its class at the time. In terms of drive, comfort, equipment, space: nowhere let the Avensis actually drop a stitch. Really very exciting, is it not, but that makes total. This is a fine bikers where you can still last for many years ahead. Don’t make the mistake by the stronger 2.2 diesel. This switch significantly less comfortable and have the necessary kwaliteitsperikelen known. The 116pk strong diesel is simply a pleasant and stylish house.
Fiat Croma 1.9 JTD Emocion:
So a typical car that new, not really to hit, but used a strong offer. The Croma is a very comfortable and spacious car. Most of the specimens are also well-equipped and the 1.9 diesel is a very pleasant companion. 150pk, not too many miles and an automatic transmission with all options: for 5k, there is a choice. Another advantage is that you have something higher than an ordinary car, without you immediately in an MPV or SUV imagine.
Jaguar X-Type 2.0 D:
A real Jaguar? Yes! Ultimately not a success, but a bad car it was not. A bad Jaguar perhaps, but that is a different discussion. Certainly the version that we here discuss: the version with 2 litre diesel, front-wheel drive and manual gearbox. Under the elegant carriage, it is simply a Ford Mondeo, so a nice driving car. In terms of reliability is it mustache, are for the 2.0 D but a few finishing touches, so check out these equally.
Volvo S40 2.0 D Momentum:
A typical tussenmaatje. Slightly smaller than the D-segmenters, but it is a good look. Still a very handsome appearance. It rides very nice, the chairs are fine and the engine is fine. make sure that the equipment is satisfactory, particularly the ‘Base’ and ‘Kinetic’ models are quite bare, the Momentum and Summum are preferred. Excellent car. Only downside is that they are a bit tight in the back. Check here where you should pay attention to.
Honda Accord 2.2 CTDI:
Today, an Accord is no longer available, but that is not due to a lack of qualities. Perhaps even finer than the Toyota Avensis. The interior is a little tighter and in terms of driving something finer. Handsome. But the biggest advantage is the 2.2 diesel engine, it drags tremendously. Not the allerzuinigste, but they run like the proverbial ‘sowing machine’. Equipment is good and the design is still sleek. If the Accord is too large, the Civic with the same engine you can also meet the requirements. It is considerably less pleasant.
Cadillac BLS 1.9 d:
Not only a Jaguar, but a Cadillac is dealt with! Just like the Jag is the BLS not a real Cadillac, but simply Saab 9-3 (which is actually a Opel Vectra). It also drives like a Saab 9-3: boring but comfortable. Replacing components is a little more expensive. Hand no one the car knew, so the depreciation was huge. Advantage: you can get a good deal. A lot of car for little money. The issues are the same on the 9-3. Not flawless, but if you look carefully, definitely manageable.
Volkswagen Jetta 1.9 TDI Comfortline:
The dullest offer. Preferably a grey, with grey interior. Stains well with the grey Dutch weather. The Golf has always been one of the most popular used cars, and the sedan variants were traditionally less common. The Jetta is a bit more practical than the Golf and drives exactly the same. The 1.9 diesel is a typical diesel: noisy but economical. The 2.0 diesel is significantly faster, but also dorstiger. However, make sure that you have at least the Comfortline. Check here where you should pay attention to.
Peugeot 407 XS 2.0 HDI:
A logical successor compared to the 307 is, of course, the 407. The 407 is one of the finest cars for highway mileage. You are already familiar with Peugeot, so you’ll quickly feel at home in a 407. Completely free of mistakes was the 407 at launch, so pay attention to the following points. Particularly in the area of electronics I would just try and check.
