Diesel
Estate
A diesel estate is the most versatile of
vehicles in that it can obviously be used in the same way
as a family car, but with the capacity to carry a
bigger than normal payload, even with all the seats in
position.
As with any estate car, the back seats can
be folded flat to convert the back space of a diesel estate
into the equivalent of a small diesel van. A true MVP
(Multi Purpose Vehicle).
The obvious benefit of a diesel estate,
compared to a petrol estate, is that the maintenance and
running costs are considerably cheaper. The performance of
a diesel estate is more consistent than that of a petrol
equivalent because of the way in which diesels perform.
A used diesel estate will usually cost you
more than the list price shown in such publications as
Parkers Car Price Guide. It's so difficult to find a
good quality diesel estate for sale, for less than the
prices shown in this guide. Believe me, I've
tried.
Because of this, a diesel estate is a
really good investment as when you decide to pass it
on to it's next owner, the groups of people queueing up to
buy it will include, but are not limited to;
-
Families
-
Shop owners
-
Small businesses
-
Taxi drivers
-
Dog owners
Diesel estate owners can also be pleased
that their historically sluggish performance is a
thing of the past with improvements being made on an almost
daily basis with regards to the performance not only of
diesel engines but also in the development of diesel as a
high performance fuel.
