Combi with AHK up to 1500,- – which brand/model is good despite high age?

Hello, after I was separated from my old man from the TÜV, a new one has to come… but since I only have 1500, – it will have a good bowl again. With them I was always lucky so far, she could drive so 4 years. To my present, Ford Mondeo from 98, who made from the beginning with the brakes, and every 6 weeks goes over some small stuff (back flap damper, heating, ZV and and and…) Jordan. In that I do not want to put any further money for the TÜV, is a For example, I heard at the rumrecherchiererei that these things were typical for the model/year of construction (“children’s diseases”: the problems with the brakes, ZV). I would have liked to know this before and hope to know this this time. I cared with a Benz E 220 – 240, which are from 97 upwards and mostly have about 270 000 on it, just in my budget. Because it means the engines run up to 400Tkm without problems if they ́s up to d Now a colleague said that you have to fill yourself with the engine age stupid and stupid, consumption would be far above the specified 8-9 l., rather at 11 – 12, that would definitely be too much. What else would be possible? Must be a combi with AHK and have a bit of balls to pull – so 120hp would be i.e. if they are not as heavy as my present – the weighs 2t, and with its 118hp it is a bit small motorized, from the driving behavior and especially when pulling mer kt mans. No diesel, be afraid of the turbo (rep.) and do not drive enough (so 12,000km a year). As young as possible for the money color, brand etc. must be of no concern to me (except if with a certain brand the spare parts in case of a reperture cost more than the whole car, was I told to Mercedes?). I know I am an imposition with these requirements. Hope nevertheless on input Thanks already in advance!
