Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mark Laskin is selling his old Rover 75 and wants to replace it with a “hassle-free” new car. He says that he likes the idea of a “crossover” model.
A Car for the Head
September is always a good time to buy, not least because manufacturers want to tempt more customers into their showrooms and convince to sign up for the latest 66 registration. There is no shortage of Sports Utility/Crossover style vehicles and they don’t all have to be huge with four-wheel drive. The £15,675 Renault Captur is a good example of the type Mike is looking for, and right now there is £500 off new models. The Captur is also available from £179 per month after a deposit of £607, via one of Renault’s new three-year Selections PCP packages, plus a manufacturer deposit contribution of £2,250.
A Car for Heart
Alternatively, the new 2.2 litre SsangYong Korando crossover is now available as a special LE model. They are well built, decently equipped and come with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty which would be perfect for Mark. This new model has a huge list of extras – the 18in alloy wheels and sidesteps are just the most obvious features. Look around and you’ll also find sat nav, a 7in high-resolution touch screen with audio streaming from smart devices and a link to the rear view camera, and TomTom navigation system. All this for £17,995.
