Default Best Spec Focus I can get for £5k?

Evening all,

I'm not to clued up when it comes to the focus. So could I ask for some help on what's the best spec focus I could get for £5k?

I would prefer diesel to be honest but could be swayed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers Billy

Either a titanium x or ghia go for a 2.0 tdci and you'll get the much nicer 6 speed box, my dad has an 07 tdci ghia lovely little car fully loaded excellent on fuel and really comfy the titanium is basically a ghia but a little more sporty.

Be careful though as they have lots of pump and injector issues still.
Iirc it's a Renault motor? I think they munch turbos too from what I remember when I was running the garage but those who 100% know feel free to correct me.
I did a search on eBay recently for "non runner" and there were a lot of these coming up so I reckon I'm reasonably accurate on the reliability front.
