My venerable mk1 Avensis is on its way out, so I'm seeking advice from our car-savvy members regarding my next used car purchase.
My budget is limited (£2k maximum). I need a practical family estate. It must be automatic, and I'd prefer petrol but will consider diesel. Parkers and eBay have been my main research sources so far, and I imagine I'll be mostly looking at cars between 12 to 15 years old.
Choices I'm considering are Honda Accord Tourer, VW Passat or Skoda Octavia. That said, I've always wanted something German and RWD, so that makes either BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class estates possible options too.
I suspect the Honda will give me the most value, but the BMW/Merc options are tempting me. All opinions and advice gratefully received .
