I currently drive a Jaguar XF Portfolio 180PS 2.0D. I bought it new ~3.5 years ago via PCP, however I'm currently looking to give it back via voluntary termination (there's more left on the finance than any of the similar cars on auto trader, and it's trade in value is substantially less than the GFV, so there's no real point keeping hold of it) as soon as I find an alternative vehicle.
I'm struggling to find a vehicle I'm happy with in both spec & cost though unfortunately, so I'm hoping someone give me some ideas of vehicle I may not have thought of.
The specs I require:
Any other cars I've looked at that seem to have the majority of the features I want, don't seem to be quoted for much less than I can get the F Pace for, and I don't really fancy spending the same amount on a <£30k car, as I would do for a £50k car!
I know with a bit of haggling with the dealerships, I'd get the other cars down a bit, but I'm not sure I believe they'll drop quite low enough.
Vehicles I've thought of, and had a bit of a look into so far:
TL;DR: I want a car with loads of stuff, but don't want to pay anything for it, what are my options?
