Re: Need advice on cars
We run the kataliban bus..... same as Previa but Emina/lucida grey import,it's diesel,automatic,nearly 30 mpg,8 seater, have had a 250 Kat,125 GS, and pushbikes in the back,makes a GREAT BED ON RALLIES(has accomodated all 4 of us) 
,just come back from France in it-320miles before stopping for fuel.Ours is 20yr old,saw one go on ebay just recently for £1000.Our next car will be one of these.We tend to fill it with building materials more than kids these days,the kids grow up and do their own things,but I fear our French Maison will always be needy.

Re: Need advice on cars
I had a Lucida(J top) and we loved it, only when I visited a sandy place the wife ran out of oil and the engine went pop. I replaced the engine myself with a recon one for £800 and it was great, I only got rid as it's very heavy on fuel 28mpg max and that's with a new engine.
