Simple enough question.

I would like to track down an earlyish high spec car say 2001 or so. I have the budget to find something really clean with history and low miles.

Although I would love the 2.5 V6, I need to be realistic about fuel bills as I do have a long commute so most likely it will be a CDTi auto.

I fully accept and am prepared to do all the preventative maintenance and servicing, I am just nervous that a car coming up for 2 decades old will leave me stranded.

Any thoughts?
