Got a couple of options for what I want to do when I get a new car maybe next month/the month after. Do I buy a Corsa C and a corsa B as a project or do I buy an astra as it's gonna be better for the family and the wifes decided she wants another baby already  and then get a corsa b maybe next year and be able to do it all properly when I've got a bit more money to put into it

Astra if you're needing a bit more room. Preferably a 2.0.

Anything apart from a 106 GTi, they're doing my head in now!

b and c, then you get best of both worlds (c for comfort, reliability etc. and a b to give death constantly)

You could maybe be a bit more specific? You say astra, but which one? Year and model etc would help a lot. Would also give us a idea of what kind of car you are after, and other options could be brought into account.

Yeh mk4 are stunning, whats your insurance situation like? Can you afford it on a gsi or sri turbo?
Also what is your limit on spending? There is a stunning silver astra gsi with 30 odd thousand miles on it for 8k in for sale section.

Sorry no can do. £7k is a bit of a stretch. Think I'm definitely going to go with the astra for now though and then get the b once the house is sorted so I've actually got a garage to put it in. looking at this one. Opinions?

But much money to pay considering its a mk4. Two of my mates both got 99/98 astras mk4 with 60k/70k miles on and they were only 1600 each. Can you not get a mk5 for the money your talking?
