Recommend a sensible car?

[bokdrol]

One of our cars is over 10 years old, is rare, and it is time to replace. Looking at the new cars is a bit depressing as the prices are huge for rubbish. Can anyone recommend a reliable, "sensible" 2nd hand car for my husband:

Reliable
Parts and service reasonable
Say 1600 engine (speed not an issue)
Sedan-type with reasonable boot size, even a station wagon
Conservative but tasteful
Husband is tall so not a low roof
Preferably not "zef" like opel monza or ford

Budget: max R120k (less would be better)

They said their car is over 10 years, they didnt say they are looking for a car with 10 year old technology fitted from a Toyota Hi-Ace!!!

If you can pick up an old RAV4 with low mileage, these make awesome second hand cars.

What about a Honda Civic Sedan? 1.8 vtec engine with loads of space and Honda reliability.

What year is "old RAV4" that you are referring to?

 

[Rouxenator]

Reliable, Korean with some warranty left on it and not completely soulless :

Thanks, there are good suggestions here. Will start looking.....

I raise you a Honda CRV, but sadly not one of these is a sedan.
