Our car has just been written off after a major engine problem and I need some help in replacing it. Can anyone give me advice please? We had an old faithful Landrover Freelander but it's packed up. I relied on it to transport family. I've never had to buy a car it was always something my husband took care of but he is now seriously disabled, he's 83. My mum is 89 - we all live together. I haven't a clue about cars, I've read so much today and still none the wiser. We need a model that will work for us, we can't afford a new car. My husband loved the Freelander but he struggled to get into it, even with a step to help as it's quite high off the ground. It was time to consider a more practical solution on that front.
I take both Husband and Mum out together on trips to garden centres etc and so both need access. My H has a wheelchair so need space for that. We live on high ground and often get snow during winter. 4 x 4 was a good solution but I realise we have to forfeit that luxury.
I would be so grateful for any ideas you might have. Where do I start?
