Can you get a focus st for that money? or are you talking about the st170's?

Astra VXR's are silly cheap now, especially some of the first ones. tbh, every GSi I've looked at on AutoTrader/eBay has either been modified, or just a complete dog.

Was looking at GSi's myself, they've all been to the moon and back it would appear, and people still want top dollar for them


But in response to the actual topic, probably pick up a 54/05 plate Clio 182 with PLENTY of change to pay a years insurance & buy some goodies.

I work for Renault and i cant ever say we've ever had any with any major problems.
Make sure they have service history and if it's done over 36k make sure the auxiliry belts been done, the backbox rubbers are bad for perishing on them, and sometimes broken springs.
