Looking for a diesel on a 4-7K budget!

    I'm not totally clueless about cars by any means at all...but was looking for advice on what I should be leaning towards seeing as it would be my first diesel buy. On a budget of 4K-7K depending on how soon I find something.

    Been looking at..
    2002 and younger 1.9TDI/2.0TDI A3's and A4's

    2005 and younger 1.9TDI/2.0TDI Passats

    2005 and younger 1.6 TDCI/1.8 TDCI Focus'(although I'm a fan of the facelifted 2008 model specifically).

    Looking at a minimum 1.6L to max 2L (2L max mainly for insurance as I'm young enough, but also tax). Want a decent amount of power and a good looking and reliable car. Low mileage is also an obvious serious bonus.

    I'm aware of SOME of the issues with some of the models I've mentioned like the Turbo's going in the 1.6 TDCI Focus and the 3 series problems and one or two other things but any extra input and advice or a different avenue to go down or whatever, is very much appreciated.

    Cheers in advance!
