Help, need some advice?!

Am looking into getting a 110 hardtop. I am just not sure which one to go for, 300, or TD5? I have read different things about all 3. I have a budget of 3000 to 3500, with a roofrack if poss, any chance? Seen a few with 150k on the clock. Also dont really know what to look for when viewing.
Any advice appreciated thanks.

With your budget all you are going to get is a load of trouble, TD5's are pretty much out of your price range and 300tdi's are going to be rough at the price point. You would be better searching for a looked after or enthusiast owned 200tdi or even a TD.
