I never knew it was so difficult looking for a new car

£2400 or less
Quick, possibly something turbo?
Did want a soft top but no to bothered.
Insurance isn't a big issue.

Hit me up.

I do really like them, the ones around my budget are a little rough though. I really want an Astra convertible turbo

Being honest I think the colour is horrible.

It is cheap though.

For reference, if you put a little more to it -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/52-VAUXHALL-ASTRA-COUPE-TURBO-CONVERTIBLE-BLUE-swap-/260757487865?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cb65b80f9

Same colour/seats combo as my old one.

Also this one, looks like a trader who doesn't give away much, looks like he's just buying at auction and selling straight on.

First went for just over 2k

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-VAUXHALL-ASTRA-CONVERTIBLE-TURBO-POWER-ROOF-ETC-/180642801164?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0f26660c

And is now re-listed currently at 2.4k

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-VAUXHALL-ASTRA-CONVERTIBLE-TURBO-POWER-ROOF-ETC-/180649593351?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0f8e0a07

Might be a bit more of a gamble and it has cloth seats I would probably be going the extra grand to avoid orange.

Not sure how you feel about orange

Edit - the relist is because it now has MOT.

I quite like the gold colour although it's not my first choice, hardon blue probably would.

I do really want a soft top turb but theyre a bit out of the budget

It's Europa Blue on those.

You may get one for the price.

Depends whether you want a safe coupe or a convert which might need a bit of love.

The latter of course being a bit more of an investment.

Then you're getting bent over! I was 21 and paid <£900 on a GSi turbo.

I think I need to look around if I can get it cheaper. I was actually considering paying £1800 when I get one.
