Astra SXI's are cheap on insurance, look reasonable and are cheap enough to run.

in Scotland
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/365705.htm

scotland again
little over budget, but he may move on price, and worth the asking price
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/365264.htm

scottish borders, maybe not too far
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/364588.htm

Swadlincote (i dont even know where that is)
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/363745.htm

Bedford (BARGIN)
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/331182.htm

should be enough to keep you going, I'd say the same as I always say, travel tht bit extra for a decent one, as they dont always come up close to home

I found the Astra driving position a LOT better than the corsa - they are very nice to drive, especially the sri models

i got my astra x reg sxi 1.8 with 49000 on the clock for £2700. got a couple little scratches on the rear bumper but apart from that it is absolutely mint.its always been serviced earlier than vauxhall recommends. really nice to drive, quicker than the equivilant focus to 60 as well.
