Again, +1 @m4inbrain.
Do you really need a huge boot?
If not, consider a Mercs C class petrol (2004 - 2007) where they were galvanised after 2003 IIRC and less prone to rust...They just go on forever as long as the basics are seen to. Sometimes E classes will come up at similar prices to C classes. My neighbour has a E class wagon (diesel) I know he's selling for around £1800, having taken it out on a drive on some twisty turny roads, I was surprised at how well it handled and it's smooth power delivery and ability to slide (remapped diesel torque monster, huehuehue)
I clearly still get animated over 1:1 cars 😉
Dude the world is your oyster, just saw:
got 1500 budget
wanting over 100 hp, mine was only 70 and wasnt that powerful
bit bigger than the skoda fabia
You can find some really nice and interesting cars at that price point and spec lol.

Just one example, not personally recommending this car, but to give you an idea:

V70s and S40s are cheap as chips, definitely within the budget you stated, even good ones. 3 series, at least good ones, might be a bit harder in that kind of budget, but doable.
Good luck either way, the one upside is that you'll get your car quickly - we're 5 months into the wait, and are potentially looking at another 12. 😭
