So as title said...I've been mostly happy with my 1.3 D for the six years I drove it, but my situation & car budget have changed and I'm now considering selling my 80k mile D while it still has some value, in order to buy a cheaper 4 door car instead.
I'm considering several models-that are not Opel/VX/D's, hence my posting in this section-but my question is, would you think it's doable to sell my current car to a second hand vehicle dealer, and then buy an older/cheaper vehicle from him ? (of course, I don't expect to drive off with a big excess check-if any, it wouldn't be more than a few hundred £/€ tbh, I'm aware of that).
My other concern is car mileage and reliability-most if not all cars in my price range (€3.5k /£3k, which is what I would get from my D's sale) have 200k km /124k miles or more, do you think it'll still be safe to buy & run a car that has such high mileage ?
Thank you for your future advice,
French D
