You might be able to sneak in a Passat or early A4 with the 110TDi motor, these are normally priced above the Mondeo / 406 equivalents but you might get lucky.

Also look out for an early A6 110TDi, these can be cheaper than the A4 as they're less in demand ....

Octavia.

You'll get a decent T reg for 2k

Might sound a bit crap but I bought an Escort TD Ghia on an N plate with FSH and only 88,000 miles which for a diesel is not bad. I also had a £2k budget but only spent £850 and just got the cam belt changed as it was due. It does about 500 miles to about £35 with motorway driving. So far its been excellent cruises nice at 80mph. I looked at loads of diesels under £2k from pegeouts to fords to skodas and all had really high mileage. I suppose for a diesel it does not matter on the mileage as long as its serviced regularly but I wanted a low miler.

I've just acquired a 1997 Rover 420Di for similar means. Cost a grand... and it's got air-con, electric windows etc... a better spec than my Scooby! Supposed to be able to easily get over 50mpg... which is nice.
