Wanted WANTED: Estate/Hatchback

[Toble]

I'm looking at a buying a hatchback or estate car in reasonable condition (ie 11+ months MOT) dated 2000+ for less than £1000.
Any idea where to look, or does anyone have one to offload?
Things I don't want are: former taxis, French cars, Kas or Corsas.
Thanks.

I have a 2003 VW Passat Estate - her name is Vanessa and she is wonderful!

I can fit a full size fridge freezer in the back, and have once fitted a motorbike in - stood up (just had to take the front wheel off!)

She does around 57 to the gallon and apart from a service she hasn't cost me a penny!

Shes not for sale (sorry!) but I would defo recommend to anyone!

I was hiring cars a lot around 03 and I always tried to get a Passat. I agree nice cars.
Not much help though.

I ended up with a Focus ST170 for a grand from Blackpool. Lovely thing it is, almost Condition 1.

Interesting choice they were quite rare even when available new.

Interesting choice.

Indeed

Couple of minor scratches, but never been towed, and with 13 years of service history. Its a car I've wanted since they were annouced in 2001, so i've chuffed to bits (as us northerners are wont to say).

I'm impressed that your new car has a Stafford postcode
