Sold my van need a cheap Estate - advise

[fatwomble]

As the title really.

Gearbox started playing up on the van and it looked expensive to fix so just sold it cheap, loads of interest and sold it for the full asking price so looks as if I put it up a little cheap but never mind, anyway I now have money burning a hole in my pocket.

Need to get myself a cheap Estate up to £1000, was thinking of an old 5 or 3 series BMW, a Subaru Legacy or any of the Audi Avants. Obviously the lack of funds means I am looking for something a good few years old. Anyone got any recommendations (or one to sell). Any advise gratefully received.

Probably a little to far away.

I guess that you won't be slagging it off as you are trying to sell it, but I'm going to have a look at a 525 the same age as your, any pointers?

I had a similar vintage 525tds estate...Reliable old tank. Everything worked and seemed to be designed to outlive me!

Only downer was the economy as it had been chipped..

Just watch out for wobbly suspension and vibrations...never quite cured mine!
