what should i expect to pay for a 1.6 with air-con etc..
ive been looking on autotrader and ebay and found some for around £800 - £1000 that seem pretty mint,
is there any other places other than those places to find cheap prices?
and also has anyone here had a good car for around the same price?
cheers

I paid £2300 for one in mint condition, T reg, FVSH, all extras, brand new mot, brand new tyres, 62k on the clock, two cambelts changes, new 6 months tax, new service, every single bit of paper/receipt (not for the car itself) and vallet.
You get what you pay for at the end of the day, i paid £900 for a tigra that i scrapped a year later due it dying. Save your pennies

well after a year or so i might think about doing a redtop conversion, i dont mind mechanical problems with the car because i was a mechanic for a fair few years and i have access to a garage n stuff, its just finding one with no rust, we all know what vauxhalls are like for rusting lol

elephant - i do 10 months bonus accelerator so its less months but i get a yncb, i also do monthly payments which bunks another £120 ontop per year. So roughly its £680 ish for a whole year.
Best ive found so far - every one else wants an extra £300
