Advice please - economical car for < $3,000

[JDS]

Deep down in your heart, you know you always wanted a boxy diesel wagon

It's not so pretty, but these cars last forever, they just don't break down. It'll carry your kids AND their grubby friends, too. And their crap. And you have to refuel it about two and a half times a year. Goddamn diesels.

Again, no bids at $3500. Make him an offer!
