Diesel estate

TestTransmission

I've a hankering for a estate and have about 10/11k to spend.It's gotta be a diesel.

I'd love a big 4x4 tbh, but I have no idea about them and I really don't want to sacrifice economy for the occasional use it'd get.

Suggestions/comments/links please

Skoda Octavia vRS:

Decent bit of poke. t's got the old PD engine so injectors should be covered under VAG recall if not already replaced. Timing belt change is very 60k miles or 5 years. Cheap tax.

Don't think i could drive a vRS, I had a mk1 4/5 years ago and it broke my heart.Been leaning towards something like a legacy but trying to find one is pretty hard

Leggy Wagon?

Looks to be in cracking condition despite the mileage.

Older model Legacy? 2008 and falls under the cheap road tax bracket too. Spec is quite good too.

There are a few new model Foresters up for a little bit over budget, but they're all low spec.

Volvo v50 is a good shout, they're boring as hell but it would fit the budget.

I'd love it, if it was about 5k cheaper. :P

I've rang previously about that legacy, it needs a new clutch and flywheel at a cost of 1200 euro, which he doesn't mention in the add.

There is one forester near budget @13k but it's hard a life talking to the seller and its pretty low spec
