I think I am goin to hold out for a good Sierra/Granny estate, not too modern but not so old it will need major work to do the mileage I need. Or a Volvo 240, loving the slammed one above Had a Sierra estate last year, loved it to bits but got shoved off a roundabout by a Saxo

I hope thats not a photoshop......tell me it aint so and it runs like that ;D its not shopped, but its not currently that low, subframe touches the floor, but if wanted i can make it that low easily, (miniature spring compressors 4 per spring...) so it has 4'' of adjustment!! ill dig a current stance pic out!!

Another possible vehicle is an Pug 405,
Thats I use as an business car, its an Turbo Diesel estate and has just done about 28K this year.
Have just passed its mot where it needed a new CV boot, a new numberplate bulb and that was about it.
It regularly goes on long trips and has had little probs. Only one was failed glow plugs but that was £20.00 and 30 mins to sort.
Its a J reg so pretty old and my parents old one managed 500,000 miles (yes really!) before being written off. This one is only just run in at 151K.
Other plus is that is will run on veg oil and will get 55mpg and it cost less than £500.00 to buy with 12 months MOT and 6 months Tax
They are really good work horses.

Passat B3 diesel estate
55 mpg and they run forever
my last B3 i clocked up 7k in 4 months and it actually got better the more i drove it, soem of the little issues fixed themselves with regular use..
like any car - as long as you look after it and do preventative maintenance then anything culd clock up that mileage without an issue
