[Peter C]

First my brother in law had a problem with his Volvo:

Then, earlier this week, someone broke into his house, found keys to his BMW and drove away in this:

 

 

There’s no way of knowing whether the BMW will ever be found.

 

BIL now urgently needs a reliable automatic estate car, MoTd and running, for up to £1k and located as close to High Wycombe as possible.

 

Does anyone know of a suitable steed?

Furkenell, that is some serious bad luck for your BIL. First his Volvo shits itself and then some Scroats have it away with his Beemer.

 

If I were your BIL I would go any buy a lottery ticket cos luck has gotta change surely

 

Does it have to be an estate ?

If he finds something by thame/aylesbury I can bring him over one evening after work and drive him back if said car turns out to be a pile of crap

Oddly enough BIL bought a Euromillions lotto ticket on Friday and won £6. Bonus.

 

Yes, it must be an estate.

I suspect you have checked the usuals but....

 

Appreciate the mileage is a little on the high side but in my experience when I have been in the shit and needed a dead reliable steed the PD130 VAG engines have never let me down....This ones not a million miles away in Aylesbury - knock him down to £600. Aside from the one below,  I would strongly suggest lapping up a B5.5 PD130. £700 quid would probably get you highline too with leathers in an EBay auction....

This might also be quite a good candidate. Not overly expensive now and still quite classy in my opinion. Wear their age quite well - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-V40-T4-turbo-200bhp/264300484263?hash=item3d898956a7:g:xYQAAOSw~2BcxHUC

Update, a temporary loan car might be on its way soon.
