will have to consider stuff like petrol, servicing, tyres etc cos its obv a big diff to a 1.2 sxi especially on a student budget! haha
if he was to sell he would probs want 3k for it

My dad has a Omega 3.0 MV6 estate ex police car and it surprises the hell out of me, always wondered what it would sound like with a decent exhaust and induction.
BUY IT!!

Guy down the bottom of the road has one just like that, hes a prick, I wouldnt buy one just for that reason.
Also its not really a young persons car is it, think you would get bored of it very quick!!

You dont get bored of going sideways on roundabouts 
TBH though you would get the same kick out of a veccy V6 SRi/GSi so look at those aswell

They can look quite cool if done right.
But I would only ever buy one for a laugh and if it was going cheap enough

hmmm its something to consider. yeah its rwd, n deffo goes sideways! not by me tho 
well me old man gets 31mpg out of it. i probs get about 38-40 outta my sxi!
errmm as for specs, its 208bhp, rwd, 0-60 in 8 roughly
i reckon a few wee mods could free up some bhp.
already has irmy rims n rear spoiler etc
