Toyota Auris, down to 3.. 6k budget

Guffy

So i have 6k give or take to buy a car. I'm looking at an auris and have it down to 3 english cars. I will be getting the car checked by AA but at 200 pound a pop would hope not to have check them all out.

Any thoughts on these 3 would be greatly apprecited.

2 previous owners, scuff on back bumper and heavily chipped on front maybe from loose chippings.... well be buffed out. Obviously needs a clean and valet. Dealer said it will have an MOT on it. €5418 all in 2009

2) https://www.vcars.co.uk/used-cars/cardetails.php?t=autoexposure&u=753678

€5432, 2008

3) https://www.vcars.co.uk/used-cars/cardetails.php?t=autoexposure&u=710827
€5173, 2008

No details on car 2 or 3 as i haven't rang dealer yet

Have you been looking at any Auris in Ireland? I ask because they aren't a patch on older Toyotas.

Seems crazy to go to the UK for an 8 year old Auris that's described over the phone as "a bit tatty".

I was half considering an Auris six months ago and the best thing I did was buy a Honda Civic instead.

Would you not consider something like this Prius?

Twould be more reliable, more efficient, cheaper to tax (I think), and because the vet is so small on hybrids, it means you can spend more on the car itself.
