12k for a 55 plate with the rubbish wheels? sound expensive to me.
seen plenty of 20-21 year olds driving them about. they are as much of a 'youngsters' car as a mid-life crisis car.

Mate, shop around - Can get some blinding deals on the Astras, i've been looking!
I'd be looking for 19's as a bare minimum.
Not tempted by the Corsa VXR then? Can get them for ~£11k...
Corsa 2.0 16v Vegas - Sold

i like the astra's but for the cash id rather have something abit more special, and being your age i would think insurance isnt much of an issue id set my sights higher
and btw how much will the corsa be up for?

i was looking at astra VXRs and thought the deals where shite tbh.
The cheapest i found was an 06 with all extras bar the wheels for £14k.
The quotes for new ones were £17-18k with all extras.
Where is this 58plate one for £15k?
Buy an m3 instead its cheaper

As mentioned, it needs the 19's. It looks bland on the 18's and will be a nightmare to sell on.

I'm just looking at them moment to swap my ST (fiesta) for a VXR. I work at a vx dealership so can pick up a decent used vxr less than 20K miles, 19's and a couple of other extras for circa 10.5k. I'm so tempted but insurance is £1,000 fully comp

£1,000 is pretty good for a 22 year old.
