    are you kidding me?
    we are talking about long journeys

    A journey is a journey, no matter the distance.
    So what are you claiming to be your annual mileage towards insurance?

    My 2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1 probably cost around that range, through most of the time I had it, and has been reliable & cheap to run, with low depreciation, although my mileage is low. If you drive more than 10k per year then a Diesel Car will be your best option because of fuel cost. Some of these should be approaching that price range now.

    Most information on the internet will relate to newer cars so your focus needs to be more on the condition, history and seller.
