We are a two car family and want to buy 2 new econdhand cars

We are a two car family (P-reg Ford Escort with 80k on clock and 04-reg Honda Accord with 110k on clock). Both cars have full service history and are excellent runners.

We now want to buy two second-hand cars, each no more than 2 years old.

We are looking for a small four-door car for my wife, who does no more than 5,000 miles a year. It needs to be comfortable, economical and maybe sporty.

I am looking for a family/ 4WD/ estate which is comfortable, economical, sporty and maybe has a hint of luxury as well.

We have a dog and enjoy camping with friends so it will need to carry some big loads.

We would like to be able to have a single contact to purchase both and get the best possible PX for both our cars. In the current economic environment we want to make sure we get the best deal.

It would be great if we could buy one get one free!
