Hello all,

Cheers

You could find a nice 90s 3 series with a sizeable engine for that money, ie a 328i or something.

Talking Saab territory there too.

Volvo T5 maybe ?

AUDI A4!

Ive just bought a 1999 2.8 V6, 195BHP
£1650 so bang on the money
Has 5 seats, decent boot, and flappy paddle 'box

you could even get a Quattro for £2k!
