thats exacyly it fwippers, thing is at the moment i am not doing 2k a year and the mileage aint going to go up much. so in my case the insurance is as low as it gets 62 years old max no claims never had an accident no points etc etc. i looked into just doing away with a car but the taxis dont compute and buses nonexistant.
so the best rated 2nd hand cars with auto and a high seating position are the jimny and the yeti, by users rather than magazines etc. i dont need huge space for chairs/scooters well not yet. so something between 5 and 6k that i keep for 10 years with luck will leave me quids in.
and the older ones will have knobs and buttons no touchy feely which has to be a bonus
