Default What car - 5k

Chaps, can you help me help my mate find a bloody car coz its doing my balls in coz everything i say is a no or not in their price range

I suggested the following coz he wanted something that dont cost the earth to insure and with out astronomical mileage

Newershape A6 audi diesel
X5 D/LPG
300C d/LPG
ST TDCI (with nav)
Ful spec'd Saab 9-3
730D
530 D sport/m sport

You can see the type of cars im suggesting, something to waft in that could do good on the motorway and a bit of a premium badge

Can you suggest other similar cars? I may copy paste this in pistonheads and see whats said there

Thanks all

I have an 05 st tdci estate I paid 5k for with 96k and fsh,done almost 11k with it hassle free,always does between 41-48 mpg avg,plenty space in it and has everything,think estates cost more than hatches so you could prob pick up a lower mileage newer hatch for about 5k,I was asked to sell it at the weekend but unusually this isn't for sale as it's so good for what I use it for.
