I bought a Volvo V70 with about 140k miles on the clock about a year ago for £2200, it's been great for what I need. It averages about 35mpg, mostly stop start commuter miles. Definitely not the most exciting car in the world but it's comfortable, reliable and practical. £4-5k would get you one with less miles I'm sure.

There's a really nice 2.4L, petrol, burgundy, 05, V70 about a quarter of a mile from my house. I am pretty sure it's lived there from new. I pass it most days on walkies with the dags. It has barely moved in the last year and definitely static for the last 6 months. It is like new but going a bit green in the shady areas. I've checked the MOT history and the most recent mileage was 32k. I put a letter through the front door expressing my interest should the chap ever wish to sell and he did ring me back and said not quite yet. What does the team think a reasonable offer should be as I don't want to insult him if it happens?

If you had 4-5k for an estate what would you be looking at?
Want some good mpg and low tax ideally. That money seems to just about get you a more modern 1.6 diesel, are they totally awful?
