What will I replace by old SEAT Leon with?

How much should I get for my 2004 SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI with about 130,000 miles on the clock, in great condition and full service history, new timing belt etc. And what should I replace it with? I do a bit of driving for work. I also love the Leon! Looking for reliable and cost friendly car.

Thanks so much

Should I go for a high mileage Volvo XC90?

Hi lads. I'm thinking of buying a 2005 Volvo XC90 D5. It has 260,000km on the clock and is getting a service, timing belt and front calipers done with a warranty on the gearbox and engine. What mileage are these good for, what recalls were they subjected to and what service requirements in the future?

Thanks.

What car would help my bad back?

I'm tall and have a bad back - can you suggest car types that have seat adjustment and plenty of head room to give some degree of elevation as well as support? I don't want to go over a 1,400cc engine.
