Most Ka's haven't got remote locking or electric windows.......or a CD player lol. Lass at my work had a 55 plate one, didn't have any features at all, literally 4 wheels, a body and a (slow) engine.

You could get an Astra G 1.6 or 1.8 SXI for that money with under 70k on the clock.

As standard:

cd player
sports seats
sports suspension
fogs
AC
ABS
15'' alloys
Central locking
airbags
EW
Cat1 Imobiliser
Disks all round (make sure its a 5 stud though early ones didnt).

They are currently a lot of car for the money and if looked after will do 150k without any real problems. Insurance groups 6 or 7.
