I've been looking in classifieds here, autotrader and pistonheads. Now i know my car is going i've been looking for a corsa, ideally 1.6 sport, 1.4 sport/sri for around £1700 or cheaper. This week i've seen about 4-5 cars sold that i've had my eye on 
Ideally i'd want something that's not completely standard that someone else has spent a few pennies on, but something that i can add my own touch to.
Either that or something completely standard, but cheaper than usual so i'll have plenty of change to do my own things to it.
Always seems to be the case that when you've got the cash sat there, there's never anything around Anyway rant over if someone wants to sell, u2u me and let me know what you've got 
(p.s. post links to anything you can find)

Without starting another thread war, I think you'll be dissapointed getting back in a corsa from the polo, would be a step back rather than forward in my opinion..
Your choice but thats just my 2p's worth...

That's okay mate, you're entitled to your opinion, it's just my circumstances have changed now i've finished uni, and don't fancy running the polo up and down, to and from work etc. It's a good little car but it just doesn't fit what i want now, plus i've been after a corsa again for a while. A 1.6 sport would be nice to have some creature comforts again leccy windows, air con etc.
