If money was no option, the first one.

Less miles, less doors, and the scuff / rip can easily be sorted.

The dent on the other one will cost more money, and is already high mileage.

The 3 door SXi. Unless you need 5 doors to be practical?

1.8 sxi will 80% of the time have disks on the rear. If its 5 stud its got disks if its 4 stud then it will have drums on that model.

Sri has the same brake size as the sxi's.

thats gay, the sxi i'm looking at is a 4 stud. but still, i think i'm swaying towards the 3door.think it looks alot better and the lower mileage means that hopefully should at least be worth something by the time i've finished with it.lol.

a 5 stud will also have ABS as well so worth getting one if you can

interior can be had for cheap enough and the front bumper you will most likely change so it sounds a good buy anyhow

wether it has drums on the back or not is nothing to worry about, can always swap em over for peanuts. go for the first option, 3door astras always look nicer!
