This looks solid.
In your budget I'd only buy something from a Japanese manufacturer.
Why don't you want a private seller? Again in this price range what does a dealer have to buy the car for to make a living?
Also I know the forum has a permabonner for estates, but a big saloon is big, increases your options, and will likely be cheaper. Not saying don't buy an estate, just saying don't exclude saloons.
