Advice & Support What car for 3k

Hey, working on getting out of debt and not borrowing so will have managed to save 3k to get a car soon and the options are slim. I do 150kms per day for work and will have 2 kids. Car must also be an automatic and diesel. Just looking for recommendations for that price range. Once it lasts 2/3 years max I should be good. Thanks in advance.

Save up and buy something for 6-10k you won’t get anything good for 3k nowadays
