big help required please!!!!

the borough i wish to work for says that from this month all new vehicles coming on for first time need to be EURO 6.

im struggling for help through internet , or is it just me?

is this going to cost me an arm and a leg ? my original budget of 9K for a 64 plate for an Avensis 2.2. is out the window it seems ,

whats out there to keep an eye on at a reasonable price without going to a main dealer used forecourt, wasnt until yesterday id even been aware of euro 6?

thanks for any advice.

I'm guessing it's Euro 6 just for diesels.

My council has just introduced the above, but Euro 4 for petrols.

In both cases, for Derbynotts and Sussex, did the LA consult?

Yes, they wanted 100% electric. :shock:

We negotiated the Euro4/6 policy.

Ask your council for a list of vehicles as seating may also be an issue.

There will be some Euro 6 vehicles on the second hand market as they have been around for 2 or more years now depending on the model

Most euro 6 diesels are overstressed highly turbocharged small engines and their longevity is a little suspect I have heard plenty of tales of vehicles having new engines at only 90k miles

I would suggest a petrol or hybrid would be your best bet

Ladies..your slip is showing.......the distance across the back seats can make the difference as to whether the car can be licenced for 4 or 5....or more....

Jeez, round here most arses are wider than 400mm. A lot of arses are over 6ft tall. :badgrin:
