Hi there all,

Is this anyone heres listing?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/442988663

If so what do you think for my wife?

Cheers

Listing seems to have expired... Was it the white, manual one?

I thought it looked pretty nice from the pics.

I'm after a touring but something with a bigger motor than the 1.8l

You going for it?

I've got 2 kids and they've never managed to get tangled around the gearstick :ph34r:

It did look like quite a nice car. The manual tourings are definitely commanding a bit of a premium over sedans, etc. The price was approaching E46 touring prices.

I guess you should see what the Missus would prefer

Good call. The mothers these days who get a Ford Territory as soon as they have a baby because they absolutely need it....

And they keep them a flaming mess. Most of us grew up with mums driving manual sedans with no electric windows or air con and on top of that they werent a mess. Culture of sloth? Apologies for digression.

There is more room in the back of a five - Getting kids into car seats can be a bit tricky if the back seat is tight.

I was looking at E46 3's, but went for an E39 in the end. Not a touring, but it's manual. Had to pick one or the other really :angry: . Manual 530i/540i touring would be my ultimate choice :rolleyes:

:D:lol: I can remember the four of us kids shoe-horned in the back of a Morris 1100 !!

No car seats or even belts back then !

No aircon, no elecric windows, don't think it even had a radio :rolleyes:

Morris 1100....you didnt need seat bealts, you were the master of the road back then.....

Yeah manual is not the issue, she has owned two M3's and a 5 series in the UK, actually she has never owned an auto, just thought it would be a little less distracting.

Cheers guys for the thoughts and reminising of when we were all young....

Oooh love that "Hydrolastic" suspension in the Morrie :D

Forgive us if we're teaching you to suck eggs Justin, but when I saw the handle "WaYwRd" it sounded like the kind of nickname a 12 y/o girl would give herself on Bebo with the alternating caps and small letters - so I didn't know what we were in for ;)

I managed fine with 2 boys in a 5 series sedan. Boot was big enough for mountain buggies and all that. The truth is you can always use more room, but you have to make a call somewhere. A wagon is probably preferable.

Considering you haven't even had the kids yet, don't shoehorn the wife into somthing she'll resent mate!

Yeah no worries mate, The handle came from the nickname me and my car got years again.

Driftit knows the one and I still own it.....

Yeah space is not really an issue, we have a 1984 GMC Vandura van as well.

Cool thanks for the thougts.
