Default Opinions please

Apart from the cars for sale on our forum i have found these cars on Autotrader, could i have your opinions please, bear in mind that fuel costs are not that important to me as my yearly mileage is very low.
Thanks

My budget depends on what i get from my insurance for the ZT plus maybe £1000 cash, so i am working on around the £3k figure.

I would agree with the above comment but if it's a v6 you buy check when the timing belt's were done etc, as this was what caught me out and is quite expensive,

Hi- Theres pros and cons for all three but for me the red V6 tourer looks nice and stands well above the other two. LPG conversion- would worry me how well the conversion had been done. High mileage diesel- no probs for the engine but other components are getting on a bit. I may be a bit biased to the red tourer as thats what I have!!

The tourer looks like a nice set up, that would be my choice of the three...But that's just my opinion, not a great lover of LPG.

Cheers
Tony

The red Tourer would also be my choice. Looks very nice and it has all the right toys!

The Meteors on the second car would look nice on the third car, but that car doesnt say the K's its done.
The red Tourer is the best bet.
Good prices.

Nice looking Tourer, and that looks like the Harman Kardon bass speaker in the loadspace so great quality sound too!

The Red Tourer would get my vote too, as well as HK, it also has High Line Sat Nav which doesn't seem to be listed unless I've missed it.

60K on a fully loaded Contemporary SE Auto 2004 for £2,790. I'd consider it (if I didn't already have two on the drive)
