Today we are going to a lease car and looking for a suitable replacement!
Lease. It seems to be a concept of the last 10-15 years. Of course, there’s the concept is already much longer. Know that Co, like no other, because he lease for 30 years in cars. His current lease car is a Volkswagen Golf in the sporty/economic GTE version.
After all that time it finally ended, Co want and no longer need to lease. In a short and concise email to let him know about going to a private car. We look at his voorkeursmodellen it turns out that there is not a fixed body type, but that the car practically must be sufficient for 2 persons and a few extra if needed.
Also age, there seems to be less to do, since the Volvo 850 also if interest is characterized, a model that 25 years ago came on the market… Before we go any further, just a table to see which frameworks we may find:
Current /previous cars:Volkswagen Golf GTE
Sale / lease:Sale
Business / private:Private
Budget:Around €10,000
Annual mileage:15,000 km
Brandstofvoorkeur:No, but gasoline seems logical
Reason to purchase another car:Switch from lease car to own car
Family composition:Two adults + 2 children
Preferred brands /models:Alfa Romeo 159, Audi A4, Volvo V50, Volvo 850, Peugeot 406 coupe
No-go models / brands:SsangYong
There is actually a lot possible. After a long deliberation on the editorial staff, we came with the following 7 recommendations and again 1 Yolo advice!
The moving lounge: Alfa Romeo Brera 2.2 JTS Sky Window (939D)
Because a 159 is very very easy. The Brera was actually a disastrous car at the introduction. More specifically, a disastrous Alfa Romeo Coupé. You must only look at different. The exterior is not as nice as the Concept, but that is always so. It is a special car, even if you have normal speeds driving. Normally you go with an Alpha with a nice twisty B-road search, in this, the journey itself is the attraction. You sit in large chairs and thanks to the roof, there is always a huge amount of light, while at night the stars can count. The 2.2 engine, which serves for the drive of the car, nothing more. Runs just 200 and remains very. Think of it as an Italian Renault Avantime. For 10k you can get a neat instance found (2006 / 120,000 km).
850 Light Volvo V50 2.4 Edition
The Volvo 850 starts to get a bit old. If you are attracted to the chairs, 5-cylinder, and the appearance, you can as well for a V50 (driving test) opt. The V50 is quite a lot smaller, but the front is fine. You must be really a fan of the roar of the vijfpitter, because the 2.0 is with 145pk strong enough and is a little less lazily. The chassis of the V50 is of the Ford Focus and that means an excellent handling: comfortable, with sufficient sharpness. For 10k you can get a good copy of after the facelift. Check whether the options on it that you want, because they are not all equally well equipped. Check this video to know where you should look.
Rough-Shelled: Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon 2.0 R
Exactly the opposite of the Alfa Romeo Brera. The Legacy (purchase advice) is absolutely not a moving lounge, and also no style icon on wheels. It was also certainly not leasetopper. But as a private sale there are hardly any better options. The Legacy is very reliable and extremely practical. Thanks to the permanent all-wheel drive is snow and mud fun. For 10k you have a neat 2.0 R from after the facelift. Two drawbacks: the engine has an appetite for a sip, and the dashboard is not very high (but works in all). The design is still fresh, especially the Wagon variant.
The-Not-Premium-Audi: Seat Exeo 1.8 TSI Style
What is premium? The image or the high build quality? When the B7 A4 came to an end, was the complete assembly line from Ingolstadt (D), to Martorell (E) moved. There was a slightly different faceplate and tail on and voila: a new Seat topper! As a sedan, the Exeo wasn’t as nice, but the ST version is a lot better on the retina. Good (18″) rims and a nice color to do a lot. Inside you have the interior of the A4 Cabrio and fine chairs. The 1.8 TSI is a great motor: relatively economical and sufficient torque at the bottom. That engine is something where you need to be careful in connection with olieschraapveren. If this is not done you can still make a fix for get. Keep mind in mind.
Misunderstood: Peugeot 407 Coupe 2.2-16v Pack
You gave to the Peugeot 406 Coupe to consider. In terms of appearance, it is still a beauty and can stand the test of time good to resist. The interior can absolutely not, and we therefore recommend that the successor to. The 407 Coupe is less jaw-dropping than the 406, but still handsome cart and inside a couple of levels higher than the 406. Go for the 2.2 petrol engine. This runs very nice, smooth, relatively economical, and generally reliable. The 407 had was some electrical interference, but that will at the most by now have been fixed. Anyway, first watch this video for the points. In terms of steering it is not a very dynamic car, but there is more to sharpness than the Brera (yes!).
Japanese Dreier: Lexus IS250
Of course we can, the BMW 3-series (again) call, but this time a little different. The second generation IS the 3 series at least party offer. In terms of driving, the Lexus is a bit more balanced (especially the afrolcomfort is better, the E90 was one of the first BMW’s with runflats). The dieselversies had their issues, but the petrol engines are known for being foolproof. In the Netherlands it was only the 2.5 V6 is optional (IS-F excluded) if you have a petrol engine in the cabin wanted. You not only have a real V6, but like the BMW also drive on the rear wheels. Secretly, we find him more beautiful than the current IS. For 10k there is plenty of choice. In particular, a number of copies with a few kilometres to individuals.
Sober: Ford Mondeo Ghia 2.0 16v
The car of James Bond in Casino Royale! The Mondeo (driving test) is still one of the finest riding cars in its class, a sporty yet comfortable as only Ford seem to be able. For 10k you have a 2008 model with not too much mileage in luxury Ghia version with 2 litre engine (indeed, the same as in the Volvo). Another advantage of non-premium: it is a very spacious car. It is also pleasant that the current Mondeo is quite similar to the previous one, so you do not drive clear in an old model. Tip: the liftback still looks the most fresh. Ocassion video!
Yolo: Infiniti FX35
This Infiniti dates from the time that Nissan, they themselves have not been to Holland. It was a modest importsuccesje to call what eventually has led to that we now have a genuine Infiniti importer know. The FX35 (driving test of @autoblogger) is one of the best riding SUV’s with loads of character. There is nothing else like it! The V6 comes directly from the 350Z (Z33) and know the FX35 to reasonable performance to help. All of the FX35’s (driving test of w0o0dy) were delivered and are known as properly. The FX35 is not known to many and that is reflected in their prices, for 10k you have a reasonable choice of clean copies. Ok, the costs are a lot higher than a car, but not a Range Rover or Porsche Cayenne level.
