Another what car for £2500 £3000 max
Need a new daily runner
Needs to have a large boot so a estate would be ideal as im doing up a house so need space for trips to DIY stores and space to chuck a mountain bike in the back for weekends.
Engine size i would rather keep in below 2.0 and not bothered if petrol or diesel and be good if it lands in the cheap tax bracket..
Thinking along the lines of VW Passat estate, Golf estate, Volvo V50/V70 estate ??

If it's a workhorse and an estate - out of the ones you've mentioned it would be a Volvo all day. However with your budget it would be quite a high miler (100k+).
As this is Ford forum, what about a mondeo estate? They look like you could get loads in them.

The D5 is a great engine.
Or go old school with an old 940 estate or earlier V70 for more simple maintenance ?
Don't cheaper tax brackets only really apply mid year 2000's ?

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
The E Class Merc estates are enormous inside. Not sure what £3k would get you, but might be worth a squint on Auto Trader

A good C320 diesel estate will fall in that price bracket...last of the old shape 55 /56plate sort of age....or cheaper and newer if your looking at smaller engines

Volvo is a high milage but full service history and free tax
Skoda is the same but £200 a year tax
