Buying a reliable automatic car

I have a Volvo 850 2.5 petrol (465000 miles) and want to get a car with the same specification (automatic) for less than £3000 and to be as reliable. Can you suggest a good car?

That's fantastic mileage for an 850. Best I can think of to replace it is a BMW E39 5-Series. No timing belts to replace.
