I don't think £2,000 is really bangernomics, though it's probably the equivalent of what £300 got you 5 years ago.
£2k feels really risky, you might get the deceased-spec 20k mileage main dealer serviced estate sale car, or you might get sold that story and get something that's been clocked and needs a new engine and gearbox like my friend - and £2k is a lot of sunk cost to overcome.
I'd stick with the Polo unless you're really desperate.
