If looking for a 13 year old car, condition is all.
So lack of rust, everything works and no nasty noises. And a careful owner and evidence it has been serviced. And good tyres. If you are a coompetent DIYer, I could add more,, but I assume you are not.
The chances of you finding an example of each like that locally is in my view as likely as finding a snowball in hell. And you don't want to travel hundreds to miles to view a piece of junk misdescribed as "well looked after " - which is what many ads will be like.
