i have 3k to spend, plus the trade in value of the SRi, so about 3600 in all
i NEED it by next saturday, and it MUST come from a dealer
must be cheap, reliable, and sensible, also cheap to insure, so nothing silly 
that Corsa C i was considering is a 1 litre, and thats my last resort car, i would prefer something a little bit nippier
any suggestions?

just to put things into perspective though, the SRi was costing my nearly a grand, and a 1 litre C is just under 850

no, get the passat 1.8 non-turbo.
just make sure the oil pump's not going to need replacing on it, engine out job to replace

i have some NCB, but i was insuring the passat with no ncb, however i cant justify the cost of it just yet, so in a few months im going for the turbo version when i have the cash
