Diesel for £1,500 or under?

[djbenjo]

Size doesn't really bother me, need something economical. Would prefer something with aircon but at this price I think I may struggle. Looked at a few 306 DTurbos but they seem to be in terrible condition at this price, or perhaps I've just looked at the lemons. Needs to be capable of atleast 40-45mpg+ and carry 4 adults.

Any further suggestions?

406 Executive Td, only one in my price range on Autotrader and that is nearly 200 miles away, hence seem rather rare - next spec level down perhaps?

Xsaras generally seem to be at the upper end of the budget for very low spec cars.

ZX, wheres the : puke: smiley? I know I'm on a tight budget but I wouldnt have one its just so vile.

Xantia's I get the impression they are mostly very tired now, don't ever see any Xantia minicabs anymore?

Anything Omega size for this kind of cash?
