I sold the scooby Sunday and now urgently need a replacement. Was looking along the lines of Passat but the ones I've seen on Autotrader have all been sold

That depends how old it is doesn't it? And I kind of assumed you weren't thinking of a new car for £3,500.

I paid five times the budget for a new 156 and had loads of hassle with the car and the dealer, that's why they are cheap second had.
I'd go for a Mondeo, good to drive, cheap to buy and cheap to service/maintain.
