I have decided enough is enough and i want to buy a new car. I have always bought second hand in the past. The last time i purchased a car, i got a personal loan and bought something outright. When i got a personal loan for the BMW X3 around 7 years ago, the interest rate was something like 2.5% for me.
I have just been having a look at the starting prices of some of the family sized SUV's and im still in a state of shock. its looks like i would need to take a personal loan out of at least £40'000, which is not really ideal. any opinions on decent cars or companies to deal with?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51351123","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Roger_Irrelevant"},"datePublished":"2023-11-04T10:29:51.000Z","text":"As Dyslexic Dog said above, the Toyota Land Cruiser is legendary. If you get a 150 (I think) series \"Prado\" they're decent value for money compared to the more upmarket Amazon (UN) type ones.
The one I have used to tow a vintage tractor to country shows.

Volvo V70 - Old, but built like a tank.
Skoda Octavia - Recent, and does the job well.
Or a Transit van. After all, there are many of the caravan dwelling community who have no difficulty with this combination."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51337219","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"MonkeyMan90"},"datePublished":"2023-11-02T16:37:08.000Z","text":"Skoda karoq can be had for around 26k brand new and also won towcar of the year 2023"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51337695","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Toon_army"},"datePublished":"2023-11-02T17:32:33.000Z","text":"If they write it off you should get a nice little figure.
Have you a budget on another car? Guessing diesel as they're best for towing stuff. Few nice recommendations above Volvo are solid and Skoda really good as well, guess it depends if you want a big saloon, estate or something bigger like a 4x4"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51337928","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"john184"},"datePublished":"2023-11-02T17:58:35.000Z","text":"Hybrids typically don't make good tow cars. Volvo V70 and XC90 (if you want 4wd) is a good shout but high mileage automatics give their own problems. I bought a low mileage cx5 but given the current market I should have probably bought a new Tuscon or Sportage."}],"commentCount":25,"interactionStatistic":4,"articleSection":"Ask"}
