Best Used Estate car - need some advise please - I need to buy a bastid

[pitternator]

I am in similar position...but am looking at focus estate. I drove to northumberland in a new one( hired) a couple of years ago...brill at everything , 2.0 diesel cruised at 80/90 on almost no throttle, yet 50mpg. My local police use them, so must be a good sign ??
what do folk think ?
budget like moff - 5k ideally, 7k if necessary.
